FILM TYPES

Frameskin kits are made-to-order using industry leading paint protection technology and designed to best suit the finish of your bicycle and your components.
The film types are Premium Gloss Thin and Satin Matte Thin

(NOTE: ALL KITS COME WITH DETAILED PARTS DIAGRAM, INSTRUCTIONS, INSTALLATION SQUEEGEE & ALCOHOL WIPE)

Premium Gloss Thin and Satin Matte Thin are made of a premium grade colourless urethane they are very resilient at resisting abrasion and stone chips and have self healing properties, meaning minor scuffs and scratches can readily disappear. Premium Gloss Thin is virtually invisible on a gloss frame frame. Satin Matte Thin film blends quite well with matte finish frames but is more visible as it has a subtle sheen. All our films are purpose-designed to protect paint finishes and leading edges on automobiles, motorcycles, wings and industrial applications and will keep your bike looking better for longer.

Standard Gloss (now deleted from range) had proven excellent for frame protection in most applications and was our first ever paint protection film, but being a thicker material it is not quite as conformable to complex curves which is why it may not be available for purchase for certain models of bicycle.

TECHNICAL 

Premium Gloss Thin and Satin Matte Thin are approximately 180 micron thick (6-6.5mil). Standard Gloss is 340 micron. Standard Gloss will edge out the thin marginally for strength and abrasion resistance due to its thickness. It is still hard to see, but is more visible than the ultra thin because the edge is easier to see. It is also less conformable so not suitable for complex frame designs.

Premium Gloss Thin is a 6.4mil (0.16mm) dual extruded urethane film with an additional 0.25mil (0.006mm) clear coated surface, with a 1.8 mil (0.05mm) clear acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive system (PSA). The film is specifically designed for the surface protection of painted, gel coated or other vulnerable surfaces improving functionality and allowing the conservation of visual appearance. The clear coat adds more durability and resistance to staining, dirt inclusions etc. maintaining the outer surface for longer periods. The film applies easily and maintains its clarity, durability and superior performance over a wide range of environmental conditions providing improved chemical and mechanical resistance (like stone chip) whilst offering conformability to complex shapes and curves.

Satin Matte Thin It is a durable, high-grade colorless urethane film designed for application to high-impact areas of a bike, while offering optimal surface protection. It protects the most susceptible areas of frame and graphics from stone chips, scratches, road grime as well as outdoor weathering. Composition: 6-mil matt finish urethane film coated with a 2-mil clear acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive. The film is specifically designed for the surface protection of matt painted, gel coated, or other surfaces with aesthetic requirements. The film is readily applied and maintains its superior performance and durability over a wide range of environmental conditions. Protects painted finishes against stonechips and minor abrasions.

Standard Gloss is a 325 micron thick modified PVC for durability and outdoor performance. Excellent UV light, humidity and salt spray resistance. While purpose designed for paint protection this film is less expensive to manufacture which means kits produced using this film are more cost effective. This thicker film is less conformable to complex curves which is why we don't offer it as an option for certain model bikes.
