Trimming PPF on vehicle

[tntautoglass]

I've been seeing a lot of pictures on here with bulk rolls and I'm curious how everyone cuts them on the vehicle?

Very carefully! It's more about scoring the ppf and tearing than it is about cutting the film through.

 

I would suggest a practice fender or hood from the junk heap.

Wrap some on your fingers or wrist and practice trimming it. Sooner or later you will get it right.

Actually a good idea!

^{Wrap edges if you can or get good at cutting on the paint. maybe get a fender from the junk yard and cut away!!!}

Why not just go down to 44tools in Dublin/Columbus: they train for PPF (and have been through the class in S Ant.)

Friends of mine use this for vinyl, but not sure how it'll work with PPF. Maybe call the manufacturer.
