Full PPF

Draper · 08-02-2022, 01:34 PM

I'm planning to do full PPF on my car when it arrives this fall, and wanted to get an idea of what to expect/ask for when it comes to PPF.

Overall, I'm planning to do stealth wherever there is matte paint (body panels, hood, trunk, etc...) and regular on the glossy parts (roof, side skirts, diffuser, etc...)

I've used this installer before, and they do a good job hand cutting everything, getting nice tight corners, and wrapping edges wherever possible.

Beyond that, are there other things specific to the M4 that I should ask for or expect?

EG removing and reinstalling

Hood/trunk roundels
Trunk model badge
Side gills
Door handles
Anything else...

For those that removed roundels or badges, did you purchase replacements for them to install or did they just retape the old ones and reinstall? Any issues with model badge alignment?

I didn't do full PPF, but when I asked about it he said they do have to remove all the emblems. The BMW roundel they can just remount, but the M3/M4 Comp badge he said I should probably buy a new one. The reason was the tape they use to reattach it is thicker and the badge would stick out more.
