Proof in Every Layer
A new color. And the protection underneath it.
Color is PROTEPLEX colored paint protection film: a pigmented urethane layer that changes how your vehicle looks while adding a protective layer over the factory paint.
It is a color change and a paint protection film in one — not a vinyl wrap, and not a repaint.
The color lives inside a film built to take daily wear, and because it is film, it is designed for professional removal from compatible, sound factory finishes.
Most color changes ask you to choose between looks and durability. A repaint directly changes the vehicle's finish.
Vinyl wrap and color PPF are designed around different performance priorities.
Color is built differently. It starts from the same idea as Shield — a urethane film designed to help reduce exposure to everyday abrasion and road debris — and carries pigment through its construction.
So the surface you see is also the surface doing the protecting.
The film forms a replaceable layer over compatible factory paint and may help reduce everyday surface damage from grit, wash swirls, and chemical contact.
That is what separates Color from a wrap: it is protection first, styled in color.
Color is a multi-layer film, and each layer has a job:
The pigment is carried within the film, not painted on top of it. That is what gives Color its depth and helps it hold its character as the surface takes wear.
Color's top coat is thermoelastic, the same property found in clear Shield.
Fine surface marks — the kind that dull a finish over time — may become less visible with controlled warmth under approved care guidance.
This is a property of the top coat, not a repair for deep cuts or impact damage. What self-healing does is help the color surface keep looking clean and even.
Color is designed around gloss, satin, and matte finish options. The pigment stays the same character; the difference is how the surface handles light.
Each finish combines color and protective-film construction; verified specifications may differ by product. Choosing between them is a question of the look you want.
The same clear-versus-matte logic runs across the line — compare clear and matte PPF finishes.
Color's pigmented urethane is designed to help reduce visible color change during ordinary use — so the color you chose keeps looking like the color you chose.
As with any finish, real-world life and light matter, and your installer can advise on care that helps the color stay true.
Because Color is film, coverage is a decision you make with your installer:
Coverage is built around how the vehicle is used and the look you're after.
Color is a color change with real protection — not magic, and not armor. It won't undo damage already in the paint, and it isn't proof against a serious collision or a deep gouge that reaches through the film.
Like any pigmented material, it lives with light and time; it is designed to help reduce visible color change, not to be exempt from the physics of weathering.
Color is designed for professional removal, and that outcome depends on compatible, sound factory paint, the service life, and how the film is installed and taken off.
Setting these expectations honestly is part of the brand: Color takes the everyday wear that ages a finish, and gives you a new look while it does — but it is a film, with a film's limits.
A repaint directly changes the vehicle's finish. Color is designed for professional removal from compatible, sound factory finishes, which means the color change is a layer you add — and can later remove.
That makes Color a fit for owners who want a bold change now while retaining the option of returning toward the underlying factory appearance.
Installation quality materially affects appearance and performance — and with color, alignment and finished edges matter even more.
Color is applied by trained professionals using vehicle-specific, computer-cut patterns, or hand-cut on the panel, then wrapped over edges where the pattern allows for controlled edge treatment.
Proper surface prep, controlled tension, and careful seam placement are what separate a restrained finished appearance from one that announces itself.
This is why PROTEPLEX film is intended for professional installation rather than sold as a peel-and-stick kit: the result on the car depends on the hands that apply it.
Use compatible cleaning products and follow published care guidance. Remove contaminants promptly.
For an even slicker surface, compatible PROTEPLEX Ceramic applications may be used over Color according to approved guidance.
Color is the color-and-impact layer.
It pairs with Shield paint protection film for clear protection on the panels you want to keep factory, with Vision ceramic window film for glazing applications, and with Ceramic coating for a slicker top surface.
One material-first approach across the PROTEPLEX line.
Is Color just a vinyl wrap? No. Color is a pigmented paint protection film built on urethane, with a self-healing top coat.
Vinyl wrap and color PPF are designed around different performance priorities.
Can Color be removed? It is designed for professional removal from compatible, sound factory finishes.
Does Color turn yellow? Its pigmented urethane is designed to help reduce visible color change during ordinary use.
Gloss, satin, or matte — which should I choose? That's a question of look. Each finish combines color and protective-film construction; choose the sheen that suits the tone and presence you want.
