A refined gloss colour transformation with the added durability of paint protection film

3M Protection Wrap Film Gloss Bone Gray PWF-G11 combines a distinctive Bone Gray appearance with the robust protection of polyurethane paint protection film. Its reflective gloss surface emphasizes vehicle contours and reveals a smooth, polished finish once the protective cap sheet is removed.

PWF blends the personalization benefits of a colour-change wrap with resistance against rock chips, scratches, stains and environmental damage. At 8 mil, the film is approximately 70% thicker than traditional vinyl wraps, providing a more substantial protective barrier.

The film is designed for complete vehicle coverage, partial wraps, racing stripes and custom accents. Its dry application system uses 3M™ Controltac™ technology for repositioning and 3M™ Comply™ air-release channels to help create a smooth, bubble-free installation.

Finish personality

Refined, contemporary and understated with a neutral Bone Gray colour and polished gloss surface.

Gloss Bone Gray pairs naturally with gloss black, matte black, carbon fibre, gunmetal, brushed metal, silver and exposed chrome. Red, blue, bronze, gold, white or dark metallic accents can add a stronger custom contrast.

Engineered for performance

Advanced film and adhesive technologies designed for efficient installation and long-term protection

PWF-G11 combines polyurethane construction, self-healing technology, a mirror-like gloss finish, air-egress adhesive and cold-stretch capability for a versatile colour-change and paint-protection solution.

01

Personalization and protection

Change the vehicle’s colour while helping shield the underlying paint from rock chips, scratches, stains and environmental damage.

02

Self-healing technology

Minor scratches and swirl marks can disappear when heat is applied, helping the film maintain a cleaner appearance.

03

Mirror-like gloss finish

Once the protective cap sheet is removed, the film reveals a smooth, highly reflective gloss surface.

04

3M™ Controltac™ technology

Repositionable adhesive technology helps installers slide and adjust the film before applying final pressure.

05

3M™ Comply™ air release

Air-release channels help trapped air escape during installation, supporting a smooth and bubble-free result.

06

Cold stretch and stain resistance

The conformable film follows recesses without excessive heat while repelling dirt, water and environmental contaminants.

Versatile coverage options

Use Gloss Bone Gray for complete transformations, partial coverage or protective accents

Full Vehicle Wraps Complete Bone Gray colour transformations with polyurethane paint protection.
Hoods, Roofs & Trunks Partial coverage for broad panels where gloss styling and protection are both desired.
Motorcycles & Watercraft Custom coverage for motorcycle parts, boats and jet skis.
Stripes, Trim & Graphics Racing stripes, emblems, trim pieces, decals and custom styling details.

This is polyurethane paint protection film with colour-change capability, not standard wrap vinyl.

The film helps protect against common road and environmental hazards while changing the vehicle’s appearance. Severe impacts, deep cuts and other major damage may still affect the film or underlying surface.

Application Guide

Colored Paint Protection Film (PPF / PWF) Application Guide

1. Prepare the Surface

  • Clean Thoroughly: Wash the surface with an automotive-grade soap to remove dust, dirt, and grease. Avoid using wax or silicone-based cleaners, as they can interfere with adhesion.
  • Inspect for Imperfections: Check for scratches, dust, or paint defects. Address these issues before application, as imperfections may show through the film.

2. Measure and Cut the Film

  • Measure Carefully: Accurately measure the area to be wrapped, allowing extra material for trimming.
  • Pre-Cut if Necessary: For large or complex areas, consider pre-cut templates for easier installation and precise fitment.

3. Dry Application Process

Unlike traditional wet application PPF films, 3M PWF Colored PPF is installed using a dry application method. This requires precise handling and positioning.

Positioning the Film

  • Peel and Align: Remove the backing liner and gently position the film on the surface without applying pressure.
  • Use Wrap Magnets: These help hold the film in place while adjusting alignment, particularly for large panels.

Applying the Film

  • Start from the Center: Use a soft, non-marring squeegee to press the film onto the surface, starting from the middle and working outward.
  • Apply Even Pressure: Use firm, overlapping strokes to remove air pockets and ensure strong adhesion.
  • Use Heat for Curves: Apply gentle heat (90-120°F) using a heat gun or infrared heater to conform the film around complex curves and recesses.
  • Work in Sections: To maintain control, divide the application into manageable sections and complete one area at a time.

4. Removing Air Bubbles and Wrinkles

  • Squeegee Technique: Use a felt-edge or soft squeegee to press out bubbles while ensuring even pressure.
  • Air Release Tool: If small air bubbles remain, use an air release tool (or a fine pin) to carefully puncture the bubble and smooth it out.

5. Trimming and Finishing

  • Trim Excess Film: Use a precision utility knife or 3M Precision Line Knifeless Tape to achieve clean, accurate cuts. Avoid applying excessive pressure to prevent damage to the paint.

Edge Sealing

  • Use PPF Edge Seal Tape on areas prone to lifting, such as edges, corners, and high-impact zones.
  • Apply firm pressure along the edges to ensure proper adhesion.

6. Final Inspection and Curing

  • Inspect for Imperfections: Check for any lifting edges, bubbles, or wrinkles. Reheat and reapply pressure where needed.
  • Allow to Cure: Let the film fully cure for 24-48 hours before washing or exposing it to extreme conditions.

Handy Tools and Supplies for Dry Application PPF

1. Essential Tools

  • Soft Squeegee: Prevents scratches while ensuring proper adhesion.
  • Utility Knife: For precise trimming.
  • Wrap Magnets: Holds the film in place during positioning.
  • Heat Gun or Infrared Heater: Helps contour the film around curves.

2. Surface Preparation Supplies

  • Cleaning Solution with Water
  • Lint-Free Cloths: Ensures a clean surface without leaving fibers.

3. Finishing Tools

  • 3M Precision Line Knifeless Tape: Provides clean, precise cuts without using a blade.
  • Edge Seal Tape: Prevents film lifting in high-stress areas.
  • Microfiber Towels: Keeps the film clean and free of fingerprints during installation.

3M Precision Line Knifeless Tape for Dry PPF Application

Why Use Knifeless Tape?

  • Safe Cutting: Prevents accidental damage to the vehicle’s paint.
  • Precise Edges: Achieves sharp, clean cuts on complex contours.
  • Seamless Integration: Ideal for multi-panel installations and custom designs.

How to Use It

  1. Apply the Tape: Position the knifeless tape along the desired cut line before laying down the PPF film.
  2. Install the Film: Apply the film as usual, ensuring it conforms to the tape’s placement.
  3. Pull the Filament: Once the film is secured, pull the embedded filament to cut the film cleanly along the tape’s path.
  4. Remove the Tape: Carefully peel off the knifeless tape, leaving a precise edge without the need for a blade.

By following these steps and using the recommended tools, you can achieve a clean, professional, and durable installation of 3M PWF Dry Application Colored PPF Film.
