Refined style and protection
A polished Powder Blue colour transformation backed by the protective strength of polyurethane PPF
3M PWF-G117 Gloss Powder Blue combines the personalization of a colour-change wrap with the robust shielding of paint protection film. Its Powder Blue colour and high-gloss surface create a clean, polished appearance that highlights vehicle curves and body lines.
At approximately 8 mil thick, PWF is described as 70% thicker than traditional vinyl wraps. The polyurethane construction helps protect surfaces against rock chips, scratches, stains and environmental damage while maintaining the flexibility required for vehicle applications.
Once the protective cap sheet is removed, the film reveals a smooth, mirror-like gloss surface. Self-healing technology allows minor scratches and swirl marks to diminish with the application of heat, helping preserve the visual impact of the Powder Blue finish.
Colour personality
Clean, modern and distinctive, with a soft Powder Blue colour and polished gloss surface that highlights every curve.
Gloss Powder Blue creates a bright, refined colour statement across full vehicle wraps, selected panels and custom accents. Its reflective surface adds visual depth while emphasizing the shape and details of the wrapped surface.
Protection Wrap Film technology
Designed for colour personalization, controlled dry application and long-lasting protective performance
PWF-G117 combines coloured polyurethane film with acrylic-based adhesive and air-egress technology. It is suitable for full vehicle wraps, partial wraps, accents, racing stripes and selected protective applications.
Self-healing technology
Minor scratches and swirl marks can diminish with the application of heat, helping maintain a cleaner gloss surface.
Mirror-like gloss finish
Removing the protective cap sheet reveals a smooth reflective surface designed to enhance the Powder Blue colour.
3M Controltac technology
Supports repositioning during installation so the film can be aligned before final pressure is applied.
3M Comply air release
Air-release channels help trapped air escape during installation for a smoother and more controlled application.
Thicker polyurethane construction
The approximately 8 mil film is described as 70% thicker than standard vinyl wraps for increased protection and resilience.
Recommended applications
Create a complete Powder Blue transformation or add polished protective accents across selected surfaces
Full Vehicle Wraps
Complete Gloss Powder Blue transformations for cars, trucks, vans
and properly prepared vehicle surfaces.
Hoods, Roofs & Trunks

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
- Apply the Tape: Position the knifeless tape along the desired cut line before laying down the PPF film.
- Install the Film: Apply the film as usual, ensuring it conforms to the tape’s placement.
- Pull the Filament: Once the film is secured, pull the embedded filament to cut the film cleanly along the tape’s path.
- 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.
