GTD allocations should be this week

[Specracer]

PPF is supported in the car world, and is not a negative to values. We currently have 3 cars that are 100% PPF. Our GTD will be as well.

Haven't seen any big money vehicles cross the block with it on or at least listed on the lot information .
That is why I asked.

Particularly the newer films that won’t yellow and last at least 10 years. Plus, it’s fairly easy to remove if a buyer doesn’t want it.

* I'm not in the right ballpark for a big $ car *

But if I was and the car had PPF, that's the way I would look at it.

It's a bit like having a slip on seat cover to protect the OE seat - just pull it off if you don't want it.

No permanent modification / no long term damage etc

I don't knoow if the newer stuff is easy to remove over time. Jury is still out on that. The older stuff, many times takes the top coat with it when you remove it.
When I had it removed from my 2019 c7 it took the factory paint with it. It needed to come off to blend the replacement bumper cover. So the blend ended up being all the way to the middle of the doors because the paint on the quarters came with the film when peeled.

This seems like a anomaly and not the norm. The older stuff yes but the technology is better and I haven't seen it happen if a while. I have had numerous cars done and some pieces needed to be replaced. I was glad to have it since it saved the paint. If the PPF is high quality and the shop is acceptable, I wouldn't be concerned, There is always a risk(Age of film paint, quality of paint, sun baked etc...) but the pros are far greater then the cons.

Removal technique is key too. Steam is probably the best IMO. Pulling it off as is or applying too much heat to soften the adhesive could very well result in paint coming off with the film. Always want to lift up and away as well instead of peeling it back like a banana. A good shop will do it right and won’t damage the paint.

That sucks that happened to you. Somebody didn’t know what they were doing or that was subpar film. That’s just not the norm. A basic steamer removes ppf fairly easily. But to be honest I’ve only pulled quality ppf film, Xpel and 3m produced stuff. If one of my techs had gotten more then a few inches in to a removal and that was what was happening without stopping and getting me, they’d had been looking for a new job fifteen minutes later.

Live auctions, indeed, not mentioned or "pitched", but on line line like BaT, PPF is mentioned often. I'll have our GTD fully wrapped.

And Ive had a fair amount of early PPF removed. It can be a painful process. The only paint lift I had, was a front fascia, that had been repainted (unknown to me).

GTD in yellow. I like it

 

[Specracer]

It looks bare with out the performance pack's longer splitter and the canards. Pretty sure that's a development car that has been around a while (vs a recent customer delivery.

meh, in yellow it’s more Pam Anderson (baywatch era) than I like…

…also hard pass for me on PPF, too many horror stories out there

Probably, figured I’d throw a yellow one out there. I’m partial to yellow myself

I fail to see the issue (Pam Anderson Baywatch era)
