Around Fullerton
Fullerton is a college and train town, with Cal State Fullerton, the historic downtown around the Fullerton station and the Fullerton Arboretum, and it is where Leo Fender built his first guitars. Students and commuters keep cars for years, which makes a color change wrap or color PPF a way to get a new look without a respray.
Color PPF or vinyl: what the film does differently
Both films change the color of your car, and both come off later, but they are built differently. Wrap vinyl is thin, a few thousandths of an inch, and made to stretch around curves. It looks great and usually costs less, but a rock chip goes straight through it. Color PPF is urethane, roughly twice as thick or more, with a self-healing top layer, so light scratches fade with heat and chips stop in the film. The color range is smaller, and installation takes longer. For a weekend car or a short-term look, vinyl is plenty. For a daily car on the 57 or the 91, color PPF holds up better.

Fullerton questions
Does color PPF come in matte?
Yes. Several lines include satin and matte colors, and clear matte film can turn gloss paint satin while keeping your color. Check each sample outside, since matte reads differently in Fullerton sun than under shop lights.
How do I care for color PPF?
Treat it like good paint. Hand wash, rinse grit off first and skip brush car washes. Small scuffs in the top layer usually fade on a warm day. A coating on top makes washing quicker.
Will color PPF hide the paint chips I already have?
No. Film protects from the day it goes on, but chips underneath still show as small marks. Deep chips should be touched up first, so color PPF is best on paint in good shape.
