Ford Mustang Paint Protection Film – Is 8 Mil or 10 Mil Best?
CALL (210) 863-1633
Looking to protect the paint on your Ford Mustang’s paint from damage? You might have heard of and are considering paint protection film (PPF) or clear bra. PPF is a clear, thermoplastic urethane film that is applied to your car to protect it from scratches, chips, stains, and other forms of damage. Follow along as we explain Ford Mustang Paint Protection Film options for this recent client.
First, when it comes to choosing the thickness of your PPF, you’ll have two main thickness options: 10 mil or 8 mil. While 8 mil is the traditional and popular option, there are some distinct benefits to choosing a thicker, 10 mil film. As we show some pictures from this project, here are just a few reasons why 10mil PPF might be the better choice for your Ford Mustang:
1. Enhanced Protection: The extra thickness of 10 mil PPF means that it will be able to absorb more impact than an 8mil film. This extra protection can be especially important if you live in an area with rough roads, high traffic, or other conditions that can cause damage to your car’s paint.
2. Greater Durability: Although 8 mil PPF can offer good protection, it may not last as long as a 10mil film. The extra thickness of 10 mil PPF means that it will be able to withstand more wear and tear, which can make it a cost-effective choice in the long run.
3. Improved Appearance: Thicker PPF can offer a smoother, more uniform appearance that can enhance your car’s overall look. This is especially true for darker colors, which can benefit from the added depth and shine that a 10 mil film can provide.
4. Better Resale Value: If you plan on selling your Mustang in the future, having a high-quality PPF installed can help increase its resale value. With its enhanced protection and durability, a 10 mil PPF can be a great selling point for potential buyers and help you get a better return on your investment.
In summary, while 8 mil PPF can provide good protection, there are many reasons why our 10 mil PPF might be the better choice for your Ford Mustang. By investing in this thicker film, you can ensure that your car’s paint stays in top condition for years to come.
