Kartal Auto recently completed a Paint Protection Film (PPF) installation on the iconic Lamborghini 400 GT in Dubai. During the process, our expert technicians identified several issues that required attention to ensure the PPF would provide optimal protection and maintain the vehicle’s sleek aesthetic. Below are the five key issues we discovered and the solutions we implemented to guarantee the highest quality results.
Key Issues Found and Solutions:
- Paint Chips and Minor Scratches
The Lamborghini 400 GT’s front bumper and hood had small paint chips and scratches, which would have compromised the effectiveness of the PPF and left the paint exposed to further damage.
Solution:
We meticulously repaired the chips and scratches by performing a detailed touch-up using a color-matched paint and polishing the affected areas. This ensured a smooth, flawless surface for the PPF application, providing maximum protection against future damage. - Existing Water Stains and Contaminants
The surface of the car had visible water stains and contaminants from environmental exposure, which could have interfered with the PPF’s adhesion and clarity.
Solution:
We thoroughly washed and decontaminated the vehicle, using a clay bar treatment to remove any embedded contaminants. Afterward, we performed a final clean to ensure that the surface was perfectly prepared for the PPF, ensuring optimal adhesion and a bubble-free finish. - Misalignment of Previous Film
The Lamborghini 400 GT had some areas where previous protective films were poorly aligned, leading to noticeable gaps and uneven coverage.
Solution:
We removed the old film carefully and realigned the PPF to ensure a precise and seamless fit. Using custom-cut PPF, we ensured full coverage for all vulnerable areas, including the bumper, fenders, and side mirrors, to provide comprehensive protection. - Lack of Protection on Key Impact Zones
Certain high-impact areas, such as the side skirts and rear wheel arches, were not adequately protected, leaving them susceptible to scratches, chips, and scuffs.
Solution:
We extended the PPF coverage to these key areas, ensuring the film protected every vulnerable part of the Lamborghini 400 GT. This additional coverage provides extra durability and shields the car from everyday wear and tear. - Dull Appearance of the Paint After PPF Installation
After installing the PPF, some areas of the film appeared dull or lacked the high-gloss finish expected for a luxury car like the Lamborghini 400 GT.
Solution:
We applied a specialized top-coating treatment to the PPF, enhancing its gloss and providing an extra layer of protection. This brought out the rich, deep shine of the Lamborghini’s paint, ensuring that the vehicle’s finish was as stunning as its performance.
