When it comes to paint protection, there are varying factors that determine how visible it is on the car:
1. The film - some films exhibit more orange peel texture than others, which is most noticeable on dark colored vehicles.
2. Custom or precut templates - the precut templates will have more seams than custom. However, when it comes to custom applications, it takes a tremendous amount of experience and skill to be able to execute so the film is not visible to most.
3. Regardless of custom or precut, the most important of all would be the installer. Installers come and go in this industry and many companies do not actually perform the installations themselves. Due to the amount of time it takes to hone in the skills of paint protection film, many companies do not have the luxury of learning a new trade. In this aspect, they would rather hire out someone to do the work for them. This would mean that you are paying a higher premium as the contracting company would need to mark up the services to make margin. In addition, the natural issue with this is that many companies use a bidding process to find the cheapest company to act as their in-house vendor, which also means there is potentially the issue of using a less experienced company for the work
Overall, keep your eyes out for the top 3 points, and this would give you an added edge when it comes to finding a quality company to perform the work and make it look very good. We have been doing this since 1997, so this is our opinion based on the 17 years of experience we have accumulated in this industry.
