Importance of PPF
Got a nasty scratch on the rear right side, probably some biker brushed against in traffic. The impact was enough to penetrate and tear through the PPF.
After replacing that door’s PPF — as good as new! The damage didn’t reach the paint and PPF totally saved the original paint and prevented a paint job.

Here’s what BHPian madnish30 had to say on the matter:
Any paint peel? That’s a common criticism that when one removes a well settled PPF the paint comes off with it. I am on the fence for PPF.
Here’s what BHPian smartomotive had to say on the matter:
This looks good and I’ve been thinking of getting it done too.
However, recently I got the panel painting done for the right side of the bumper which had a fair bit of scratches due to a minor accident and it cost me about 4k (the actual painting was 2.9k, just taxes + washing they included).
And while I thought it’ll look like a patch after it’s done, I was surprised to see the finishing done (very clean job, no one can tell repainting is done ever).
So after this experience, I’m thinking what other benefits would a PPF provide considering you can get the repainting done wherever required and no need to spend upfront.
P.S. Mine’s Midnight Black, So the scratches were quite big and visible
