Colour Paint Protection Film vs Colour Vinyl Wrap
One of the most common questions customers ask is “What’s the difference between colour PPF and a vinyl wrap?”. The biggest advantage coloured PPF has over vinyl is protection. A vinyl wrap is strictly for looks, offering nothing to keep your paint safe. In many cases customers prefer the rich, luxurious colours of XPEL’s COLOR films over what’s available in traditional vinyl.
Why Choose Colour Paint Protection Film Over Vinyl?
- Durability: XPEL COLOR is significantly thicker than vinyl, with research, and technology engineered to protection against potential damage, while vinyl has been designed primarily for changes in appearance and ease of use.
- Longevity: XPEL COLOR lasts longer. A decade longer, with a 10-year manufacturers warranty, while vinyl wraps have been known to last less than a few years and offer no substantial manufacturers warranty.
- Finish: XPEL COLOR delivers a beautiful finish, similar to factory paint, blending smoothly beyond the edges of your vehicle’s surfaces, whereas vinyl usually leaves visible textures and seams in those areas.
- Protection: XPEL COLOR offers real protection for the painted surfaces of your vehicle. In the event of minor damage you’re less likely to repaint panels if you’re vehicle is wrapped with a quality paint protection film.
Is Colour Paint Protection Film Right for Your Vehicle?
A full colour wrap is ideal for vehicle owners looking for both style and protection in the same product. Whether you’re refreshing the look of an older vehicle, creating a unique appearance, or simply showing off, XPEL’s COLOR film offers a modern improvement to both form and function. If colour isn’t something you’re interested in, consider wrapping your paint with professional grade clear or stealth film.

Ask Our Customers How They Feel About Goldwing
We love to brag about our installers and the quality of our work. So do our customers! Just look at the reviews below to see what our customers have to say about paint protection film services done at Goldwing in Ottawa.
We had our new Lexus fully wrapped with PPF. We were told that Goldwing were the best and they did not disappoint. I was expecting to see the edges of the PPF at ends of panels, but there are none visible. They use extra care and skill to conceal any evidence of the wrap. At first I thought they were kidding and hadn’t even started yet. The skill level is evident. If you are considering a full PPF wrap you should pop in and see some of their work.

Had my Defender stealth wrapped. John was amazing and professional and the work shows itself. Kept in constant contact with me and shared pictures of the work done. Definitely will bring my other car to him.

Terrific experience with everyone at Goldwing. Very kind and professional over the phone when I scheduled my appointment in advance, and everything occurred today exactly as it was supposed to. They are a step above other XPEL installers as well, since they have factory training (not all licensThis was the fourth time I have used Goldwing for an Expel wrap on a Corvette that I have owned. The previous excellent product and application was what keeps me coming back. My latest C7 (2015) is another great example of the product and the application. Goldwing removed the older generic smaller front wrap and Expel wrapped the entire hood, head lights, mirrors, and fenders, removed the original GM clear rocker protection and Expel wrapped the rear fender area up to the factory bodyline. Washing the vehicle is much easier as I simply use a small blower and the water runs off.ed installers have this). Highly recommended.

Took my car for a PFF and some window tinting and the staff there did a great job with both services. The price is good when compared to other places and what’s good is the service and quality you get. Will I go back? Absolutely.

Frequently Asked Questions,
Can coloured paint protection film be installed on any vehicle?
Coloured paint protection film can be installed on most vehicles as long as the existing paint is in good condition. The surface must be properly cleaned and prepared before installation so the film can adhere correctly and achieve a smooth finish.
Vehicles with paint damage, failing clear coat, or body repairs usually require additional preparation before installation. Not sure if your paint is good for PPF? Stop by our showroom for an inspection, we’ll let you know if any additional work is needed.
Does coloured paint protection film fade or change over time?
Premium coloured paint protection films are engineered to resist fading and discolouration when exposed to sunlight and environmental contaminants. They use UV stable pigments and protective top coats to maintain the original colour and finish for many years.
Proper care and washing is needed to maintain the appearance of your film. When maintained correctly, XPEL COLOR will retain its rich colour and finish for 10 years under warranty, while protecting your paint from damage.
How do you maintain a vehicle with coloured paint protection film?
Maintaining coloured paint protection film is very similar to caring for standard automotive paint. Regular washing with a gentle automotive soap and clean wash mitt will help remove dirt, road salt, and contaminants that accumulate on the surface.
Harsh chemicals and abrasive brushes should be avoided, especially during the first few weeks after installation while the film is fully settling. With proper maintenance, the film will continue to protect the vehicle while maintaining its color and finish.
What happens if coloured paint protection film gets damaged?
If a section of colored paint protection film becomes damaged from a deep scratch or impact, the affected panel can typically be replaced without removing the entire installation. This is one of the advantages of film compared with repainting a vehicle.
Many modern PPF products also include self healing top layers that can reduce the appearance of light scratches when exposed to heat from the sun or warm water. In the event of more significant damage, replacing a single section of film is usually faster and less invasive than repairing painted panels.
Can coloured paint protection film be removed later?
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of colored paint protection film is that it can be safely removed without damaging the original paint underneath when it is installed and removed properly. The adhesive is designed to bond securely during use but release cleanly when the film is warmed and carefully peeled away by a trained installer.
Many owners choose colored PPF because it allows them to change the appearance of their vehicle while preserving the factory finish. If the film is removed years later, the original paint is typically still protected from rock chips, road debris, and environmental damage that occurred during that time.
