We traveled all the way to Hawaii to complete this job for a client in a nearly mobile situation. Thanks to Joey Love from Love’s Auto Detailing, we had a space and hospitality to work in to change this 2019 BMW i8 Roadster from Sophisto Gray to a shifting blue/purple color using @STEK dynoPrism clear bra/paint protection film/PPF.
dynoPrism carries a TEN YEAR warranty against yellowing, cracking, fading, or failure. This was a very challenging job for multiple reasons, but we had a blast installing!
We have many options for “fashion” film and would love to install either clear (gloss) clear bra/paint protection film/PPF or color change film for you.
Unfortunately, we did not have our usual media there to document the process, and it was a whirlwind of a trip, and so we received footage from the client!
We have a 2019 BMW i8 Roadster as well – they only made 3884 TOTAL BMW i8 Roadsters in 2019-2020 (the only years for this trim level) worldwide, making it a fairly rare car (only about 1000 total i8s were sold in the United States in 2019-2020).
About our clear bra/paint protection films:
For this vehicle, we used Legend Paint Protection Films (https://legendppf.com/). We talked a lot in a FAQ article about what the major differences are between clear bra/paint protection film/PPF companies, if any, between major film manufacturers like Xpel, SunTek, Eastman, Llumar, 3M, Ceramic Pro – Kavaca, STEK, Flexishield, Global, Legend and more (https://hhceramiccoatings.com/what-is-the-difference-between-major-clear-bra-brands-faq/). The key takeaway is that the primary differences are in the properties of the adhesive, which is something installers have to deal with, but generally, don’t have an effect on anything the client sees.
People frequently ask about Xpel clear bra/paint protection film, and if Legend PPF compares to Xpel at all. A lot of people use Xpel to mean clear bra, because Xpel is one of the most popular brands. We also discuss Xpel and if it’s the same as clear bra, here: https://hhceramiccoatings.com/is-xpel-the-same-as-clear-bra-faq/
