Sprayable Paint Protection Film (PPF)
Want to protect your vehicles paint & surfaces from rock chips, scratches & environmental Fallout?
Going to a track day? Or maybe even a tyre burnout event perhaps?
Vehicles paint & surfaces are constantly being bombarded with rocks, bugs, tar & other projectiles causing chips, scratching, etching & constant uv exposure.
Trying to remove acidic bug splatter that starts to etch in seconds & having to repaint sections of your vehicle is both timely & costly!
The ultimate way to protect against that damage is with an expensive & permanent sheet film which is ok if you can afford the high cost or accept sometimes visible edges but an alternative method to protect your paint & surfaces from paint chips, scratches, brake dust, burnout-rubber, splatter & more is with an alternative sprayable & removeable paint protection film.
Our Semi-permanent spray-on type paint protection film (PPF) can be easily peeled off without damaging the underlying surface once finished & only requires basic spray painting knowledge & tooling.
Refract Spray PPF will last 2-3 years on any surface dependant on the environments it is subject to. Refract Spray ppf can be further protected & maintained for longer use with non-alcohol or petroleum based wax, sealants, ceramic coatings & quick detailing sprays.
Can be polished & wet sanded if required.
Can be coloured or tinted using water-based dyes, liquids or dissolving colour powders designed for water based paints. (Available cheaply at any paint supplies store)
It's ability to repel uv rays and resist rock and gravel impact will ensure your original surfaces are kept in great condition.
Applied in minutes with a basic air tools, dries completely clear in an hour and road-ready in 8 hours, builds a thick gloss-enhancing protective film (90 micron or more) that keeps your paint & surfaces protected from rock chips, gravel, bug splatter & other projectiles that come from normal & spirited driving.
UV resistant, high gloss, super clear transparency, flexible & removable.
Simply peel off after a track/burnout session or leave-on for as long as you need for normal daily driving! Can last up to 2-3 years dependant on conditions it is subjected to & it's maintenance.
Can be applied to a wide variety of vehicle & non vehicle related surfaces!
- Interior & Exterior painted & unpainted surfaces,
- Chrome bumpers,
- Headlights & Taillights, (Glass & PVC/Polyurethane)
- Painted or unpainted (non-cleared) rims, trims & license plates
- Glass (not recommended for windscreens though due to slight blurred vision if not applied evenly)
- Tool boxes, shelving, table tops, motorsport helmets, bike frames, scooters, jet-skis, camping equipment & more.
Refract Spray PPF WILL enhance, brighten and 'gloss up' dull and or plastic surfaces however due to the unknown condition of highly oxidised surfaces we cannot guarantee an easy peel-off.
For optimal clarity & appearance Refract Spray Ppf ideally should be applied using an air compressor & automotive paint HVLP Gun however it CAN be brushed-on, rolled or be thinly poured over a surface.
Refract Spray Ppf is a self levelling type product however this is dependant on having the correct application environment temperature & the application method used..
Rolling - Foam or Mohaired short-nap, lint-less roller.
Brush - Soft, fine & wide natural haired paint brush
Please note that brushing or rolling this product onto a surface can leave brush marks or higher 'texture'. It will self-level but It really should only be applied like this if you're not too worried about the appearance & being used solely for its protection ability.
Please consider having this product applied by a professional spray painter if you want optimal results or unfamiliar using spray painting equipment!
Do not apply product on:
- Porous Textiles (Clothing)
- Windscreens (May cause slight blur distortion)
- Any surface exposed to friction or areas that could cause the film to rub & lift.
Application:
- Surfaces should be dry and free of any dust, stains or any other contaminations.
- Product is applied via spray gun and shares the same technique as automotive painting.
- For ideal results, 100 mL for 1 m2 area. (1 coat) & entire thickness MUST reach a minimum of 90 Microns (Um) to be easily peeled.
- Start by applying a light-even 'dust coat' over the entire surface and allow 20 minutes to adhere.
- Use a 'tack cloth' to lightly wipe any excess overspray throughout the whole process to reduce spray dust buildup. (A second dust coat can be applied if original surface is heavily ceramic coated or surface is very smooth)
- Apply 3-4 'wet coats' ensuring gun technique, air pressures, fan width and environment temperatures/conditions are consistent.
- Touch Dry time is 30 mins at 23°C - 50% Relative Humidity & full cure takes 18-24 hours.
(Can be coloured with water based tinter @ max 5% ratio & sprayed with a 1.8-2.0mm Air or Electric Paint Sprayer Gun. (1-2 light tack coats followed by 3-4 even wet coats at 50% overlap @ 18-26 psi) (Adjusted to Environment Conditions)

Safety
Refract Spray PPF is a water based polyurethane viscous liquid gel. Although it is not directly harmful upon inhalation it is strongly advised to wear an appropriately graded face mask and full body protection painters suit and gloves to protect from overspray.
Ensure work environment is ventilated. A painters booth is the highest form of application however a clean, dust free, non windy environment is also acceptable to yield good results.
