Ravoony Car Wrap Paint Protection Test
Wrap tips: Use a heat gun to warm the car wrap, once the wrap softens, it stretches best! In the beginning, you might need to test it a few times. Experiment with different temperatures and heating durations to determine the optimal heating time.
PPF stands for Paint Protection Film, a clear, durable layer of polyurethane or TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) applied to vehicles to protect paint from scratches, chips, and other damage. Originally developed for military use to protect helicopter blades from debris, PPF is now widely used in the automotive industry. This transparent film acts as a shield, preserving the car’s paint and giving it a polished finish.
Key Features of PPF
Self-Healing Properties: Many modern PPFs are self-healing, meaning minor scratches and swirl marks on the film can disappear over time with heat (sunlight or a heat gun).
UV Protection: PPF can prevent paint from fading or oxidizing due to prolonged sun exposure.
Hydrophobic Properties: Some PPFs are designed to repel water, making it easier to keep the car clean by preventing dirt, oil, and other contaminants from adhering to the surface.
Durability: PPF can protect the paint from rock chips, minor abrasions, bug splatter, and chemical stains, adding years to the paint’s lifespan.
Types of PPF
Glossy PPF: Maintains the car’s shiny finish and enhances color vibrancy.
Matte PPF: Provides a satin or matte finish, suitable for owners who prefer a non-glossy look.
Color-Changing PPF: Recently, some manufacturers have introduced colored or tinted PPFs that offer both protection and a custom look.
Benefits of PPF
Cost Savings: By preventing paint damage, PPF can reduce or eliminate the need for costly repainting.
Enhanced Resale Value: A well-protected, pristine paint job can help maintain the vehicle’s resale value.
Low Maintenance: PPF-coated cars require less frequent cleaning as the film repels dirt and debris.
Soul Red Color: Mazda's Signature Color
Mazda's Soul Red Crystal is a deep, intense red that radiates emotional energy. This color reflects Mazda's passion for cars and was first introduced with the new Mazda6 launched in 2013.
Development Background
In Japanese culture, red symbolizes strength and passion and represents the sun on the national flag. Mazda believes that paint color is a key element of car design. Therefore, when developing Soul Red Crystal, Mazda aimed to create the most beautiful red in the world.
Color Characteristics
Soul Red Crystal combines highlights, shadows, and a glossy finish to exhibit the energy of molten lava, transparent shadow areas, and fine gloss. Using high-precision optical measurement instruments, the development team converted the ideal red into numerical values to accurately capture and reproduce the color.
Design Philosophy
Mazda's design expert, Keiichi Okamoto, aimed to create a red that people would find beautiful and immediately eye-catching. To achieve this, the team used advanced coating systems and rigorous color analysis, ultimately achieving a pure and deep red.
