Full disclosure before you read another word: this article is written by Zenith PPF, a paint protection film shop in Cumming, Georgia. Yes, we put ourselves on the list. No, we didn’t put ourselves at #1 because we drew our own name out of a hat. If that makes you want to close the tab, we get it.

If you’ve been installing clear paint protection film and recently started working with color PPF, you’ve probably noticed something immediately: your standard slip and tack solutions don’t work the same way. Color PPF behaves fundamentally differently during installation, and your solution ratios need to change accordingly.
