Can Paint Protection Film (PPF) Save Your Car’s Paint in an Accident?
At JR Automotive, we’re passionate about keeping your car’s paintwork pristine, and one of the best tools in our arsenal is Paint Protection Film (PPF). While PPF is widely known for shielding against stone chips and minor scratches, its ability to protect your car’s paint in more serious scenarios—like accidents or supermarket dings—is often overlooked. In this video blog, we dive into how PPF can be a game-changer for your vehicle’s appearance, even when the unexpected happens.
Watch the Video above; Matt Armstrong is fully credited for this incredible video above. Not only is Matt doing the incredible with re-builds but he’s also seeing first hand the value of PPF. This is perhaps shown by a number of his fleet of supercars being protected with Paint Protection Film and specifically Suntek PPF which JR Automotive supply and install.
To truly understand the protective power of PPF, we highly recommend watching the embedded video below, starting at 9 minutes and 23 seconds. This clip showcases real-world examples of PPF standing up to impacts that would otherwise leave your paintwork scarred. From minor collisions to car park mishaps, the footage highlights why PPF is a must-have for any car owner who values their vehicle’s flawless finish.
PPF: More Than Just Stone Chip Protection
PPF is a tough, transparent film applied to your car’s exterior, designed to absorb impacts and resist damage. While it’s a go-to solution for defending against road debris, its benefits extend far beyond that. Countless accounts from car owners show PPF saving paintwork from:
Supermarket dings: Those frustrating door knocks in car parks.
Minor accidents: Low-speed bumps or scrapes that could chip or scratch paint.
Object impacts: From rogue shopping trolleys to debris kicked up on the road.
In these situations, PPF acts as a sacrificial barrier, taking the hit so your paint doesn’t have to. Without PPF, even a small incident can lead to costly paint repairs. And let’s be honest—paint repairs are rarely perfect. Mismatched colours, overspray, or visible repair lines can make your car look less than its best, not to mention the hit to its resale value.
Why PPF is a Smart Investment
By absorbing and dispersing impact energy, PPF can prevent the need for expensive and imperfect paint repairs. It’s a small upfront investment that could save you significant time, money, and frustration down the line. Plus, with its self-healing properties, minor scratches on the film often disappear with a bit of heat, keeping your car looking showroom-fresh.
