Metal film for cars: advantages, features, pasting procedure

Many people are fond of autostyle, but not every driver can afford to do airbrushing, paint the body originally, buy new exclusive bumpers and moldings. But this is not a reason to deny yourself the pleasure of driving an exclusive vehicle. To transform your loyal iron friend without unnecessary expenses is quite real. This is why the metal film for the car was created. Qualitatively pasting the car with material, you can achieve such an effect that will cause the envy of all motorists.



What is a film-metallic, what are its features
The material is made of high-quality vinyl up to 220 μs thick. It exactly repeats the paint coating of the machine and can have metallized inclusions of different sizes. Vinyl metallics are characterized by increased tensile and tensile strength, elasticity, endurance, durability and presentability. They are matte and glossy, offered in a wide range of colors.

Key features of the coverage:

• Minimal shrinkage. Vinyl retains its shape well, does not stretch, does not escape, steadily reacts to sharp temperature changes in the range from -20 to +80 degrees;
• resistance to ultraviolet light and other microenvironmental effects. The material does not fade or fade over time, its color remains the same bright and saturated even after many years of operation of the car.
• Waterproof. The film does not pass and well repels moisture, so it prevents oxidation and corrosion of the body;
• vapor permeability. Although the film is water resistant, it does not create a “greenhouse effect” on the surface and does not cause swelling of the paint coating;
• ease of sticking. The film lies well and glues. To ensure optimal adhesion to the surface of the body, it must be heated with a building hair dryer;
• resistance to mechanical damage. The coating is hard to damage. It does not break, does not scratch, does not erase with time.
• perfect flexibility. The material exactly repeats all contours and curves, with time does not peel off;
• Simple deletion. Vinyl is easily removed without damaging the paint coating of the machine;
• unpretentious care. The film is easily cleaned of contaminants, it can be treated with various cleaning agents. She endures numerous washes.

Metallic faithfully will last from 7 to 10 years.

Advantages of car tuning with metal film
This type of autostyle owners of vehicles choose not only because it is affordable. The coating of the body with vinyl film-metallic is:

• A great opportunity in an optimally short time to transform your car beyond recognition. Vehicles covered with material look stylish, presentable, expensive and very beautiful. Who wants to ride an exclusive iron horse, which will stand out from the gray mass, for this is the optimal solution;
• reliable protection of the vehicle from corrosion and oxidation. The film does not pass moisture, prevents a negative effect on pasted body parts of chemically active components;
• An ideal way to hide small defects in the form of scratches on the body. The material is thick enough to mask all damage to the native paintwork.

Vinyl film-metallic reduces heating and hypothermia of the body, thanks to this in the car at any time of the year the driver will feel more comfortable.

How to glue metal film?

The procedure is not very complicated, but requires professional skills and special tools, so it is better to entrust it to specialists with experience. Otherwise, the result after the paste will not impress.

Stages of application:

• careful preparation of the surface - cleaning from dust, dirt, fat spots;
• checking the body for corrosion - places where rust has formed are cleaned and covered with a special means;
• distribution and smoothing of the film, heating with a building hair dryer at a temperature of +90 degrees and gluing.

All irregularities on the surface during pasting should be carefully leveled. If the work is done qualitatively, observing the technology, the overall appearance of the vehicle will be amazing.
