Wrapped Up Cars Limited has completed an Avery Dennison SPF-X3 gloss paint protection film installation on an Aston Martin Vantage, with a result that has already secured the customer’s interest in returning with their next vehicle.
For Rick Souza, choosing the material came down to experience. Having tried numerous alternatives, SPF-X3 has become his preferred option for both its application and finished appearance.
Four days from preparation to completion
The project took four days in total: one day for preparation and producing the pre-cut kits, two days for application and a final day for the film to settle.
Wrapped Up Cars used 13 metres of 1.5m-wide material, alongside three metres of the wider 1.8m film for the bonnet.
Rick found the film straightforward to work with, whether applying from bulk material or using pre-cut templates. He particularly valued the opportunity to lift and reposition it during installation, reporting that he could work with it for up to 20 minutes without leaving lines.
Its stretch and conformability also stood out. Rick explained that these qualities helped him achieve a smooth lay across larger panels, including bumpers and bonnets, when working on his own.
