why the blue painters tape? Car still not PPF wrapped?

i always tape my door sills when car is in for work because i hate it when ppl scuff up my sills. it's done ppf wrapped but still doing full car ceramic light on top of the pff.

btw, NEVER do full ceramic coating on top of ppf which will eliminate the self healing properties of the ppf to begin. you CAN do light ceramic on ppf but must tell shop to do so else they either don't know or don't fully understand the impact of full ceramic on ppf. this is called the hybrid protection method and is the best approach.

Cool! As I researched more into flocking, car manufacturers subcontract the parts that need suede liners like glove boxes, center consoles, etc. to small companies who do nothing but this. Of course they use machines and robots to do automated flocking but concept is exactly the same.

I can see doing a few more bits like the inside areas of the center console armrest or coin pockets. Only messy part is applying the base glue, but as long as you mask tape things off well, you’re fine. The flock itself is simply vacuumed off easily wherever it lands since it sticks to nothing but the base glue.

Tip: To get an even coverage and no thin areas, you must over-flock as much as possible without worry. Just dump out and vacuum what doesn’t stick.
