Gloss Black and Matte Black TPU Paint Protection Film Solutions
Black TPU paint protection film combines vehicle styling with practical body-panel protection. The gloss-black range creates a deep piano-black appearance, while the matte-black range delivers a low-reflection, stealth-style finish. Both options are designed for vehicle bodies and can be used for full-body wrapping or selected panels on sedans, SUVs, and trucks.
Manufactured from 100% aliphatic TPU using a casting process, these films help protect the underlying paint against scratches, stone chips, light swirl marks, acid rain, bird droppings, UV exposure, and everyday contamination. Their conformability also supports installation over curved body panels and edges.
