Without further ado …




Before putting the car back together I applied 3M clear PPF to the area just behind the front wheel. This vent opening gets a TON of debris thrown at it from the front tires. Plastidip is pretty tough stuff but I didn’t want the rocks to tear it up so I had applied PPF in this location when the car was green. Something I noticed when I removed the PPF from the green plastidip was that some of the green dye had transferred over to the PPF. This wasn’t really noticeable on the green car …

The above photo shows what happened after I applied PPF to the Sulfur Yellow dip. Some of the yellow dye seems to have transferred over into the PPF and there’s a visual difference in color between the dip and PPF’d sections. I suspect with time, this will get worse – the yellow dip will fade and the PPF’d section won’t fade as quickly. I believe this wasn’t as noticeable on the green car because the green was so dark, there wasn’t much of a color difference between the covered and uncovered sections.
