The film on the fenders of my 2008 taco still looked great when sold it last month despite many years of wet and gritty winters. Quality of the film matters a lot, 3M stuff seems to hold up well.PPF has a useful life of about 3-8 years depending on several factors (film thickness, environment, how often its waxed, etc).
A month or so ago, I ordered a kit from PRECUTPPF.STORE. I picked up the Precut Partial front kit out of 3M Pro material. The fitment seems great but I am still learning how to properly lay it down. Had lots of bubbles, but they are going away as time goes on (as good PPF should) I have only done the hood and fenders, since the weather has been kinda crappy here lately. I plan to do the rest of the kit when the weather is cooperative. Still trying to find a good ratio for my slip solution though. Suggestions welcome.Bump to see if anyone has purchased pre-cut clearbra for their 3rd gen frontier. I see a few options with a quick Google Search, but would like to get some recommendations before buying.
If the preparation is done correctly (ie. scuffed/sanded/etched) the spray on bed liner will protect the bed longer than the truck will last. I dealt with vehicles, mainly trucks, on a daily basis at a body shop I worked for. The line-x and similar brands have stepped up their game over the last 5 years or so and are utilized in so many applications, including fender wells and rocker panels. Some can even be done in various colors as well. The material is tuff and lasts.I have seen moisture get under bed liner coatings and completely rust the metal underneath. All the water that rolls down the side of the truck hits the lip where the bed liner ends. Some gets in. It’s not usually a problem in the actual pickup bed because the edge is normally up under the rail.
