For this Ferrari 296 GTB, the focus was on preserving the original paint for the long term. To maintain the high-gloss look permanently, the car was protected with transparent paint protection film (PPF) in a gloss finish. This step makes particular sense on performance cars that are frequently exposed to road and environmental stress.
Process
Before applying the paint protection film, the surface was thoroughly cleaned and prepared to ensure optimal adhesion and a uniform appearance. The PPF was then applied with a precise fit and aligned so that contours and edges are integrated harmoniously. The gloss-clear film was laid so the original lines of the Ferrari 296 GTB remain visually unchanged.
Benefits
- Protection of the original paint against rock chips, scratches and everyday abrasion
- Gloss finish for an authentic, paint-like look with no color change
- Less susceptibility to light signs of use and car-wash micro-scratches
- Value retention through an additional protective layer on heavily stressed surfaces
- Easier care, as dirt often adheres less strongly
Result
The Ferrari 296 GTB still presents itself in its original appearance, but now with effective PPF protection in gloss. The surface looks uniform throughout, contours stay crisp, and the paint is far better armed against typical everyday stress. The result combines maximum presence with lasting paint protection.
