Case Study: Ferrari 812 in 3M Coloured PPF

 – The Future of Vehicle Wrapping

or Call Today on 0161 641 8374

At WRAPvehicles, we’re passionate about staying at the cutting edge of the vehicle customisation industry.
 
Coloured Paint Protection Film (Coloured PPF) is one of the most exciting developments we’ve seen in years — combining the benefits of traditional paint protection films (stone chip resistance, scratch protection, self-healing topcoats) with the ability to completely change the colour of your car.
 
Recently, we worked with a Ferrari 812 owner who wanted to turn his dream into reality. His car was originally finished in Ferrari Grigio Ferro, a beautiful but understated grey. His vision? To transform it into Ferrari Rosso Lipstick — a deep, vibrant red — without sacrificing paint protection.

Finding the Perfect Match

Our client came to WRAPvehicles asking for the closest possible match to Rosso Lipstick while also ensuring his Ferrari would be fully protected from road rash, stone chips, and swirl marks. Traditionally, this would have meant two separate installations: first a full colour-change wrap, then a second layer of clear PPF over the top.
Instead, we introduced him to the next-generation solution: Coloured PPF.
At WRAPvehicles, we currently offer two premium Coloured PPF ranges:
  • FlexiShield Coloured PPF (USA) – an advanced product range made with real paint resin, offering exceptional colour depth and a glossy, paint-like finish.
  • 3M PWF Coloured PPF (UK/EU) – an exclusive collection that builds on 3M’s industry-leading wrap technology, now with integrated paint protection properties.
After reviewing several swatches in person, our client selected a colour from the 3M PWF range — a near-perfect match for Ferrari Rosso Lipstick.

The Installation & Time Savings

By using Coloured PPF, we were able to reduce installation time by almost half. Instead of carrying out two separate processes (wrapping first, then applying clear PPF), we applied a single layer of coloured film that provided both the colour change and the paint protection in one.
This efficiency also meant we could pass on a significant cost saving to the client — over £2,000 less than the combined cost of a wrap + clear PPF.

The Results

The finished Ferrari 812 looked stunning. The colour depth and clarity from the 3M PWF range are class-leading, and the gloss finish rivals a fresh respray — all with the reassurance of full-body protection against stone chips and scratches.
Our client was delighted, not only with the visual transformation but also with the reduced turnaround time and the cost savings we achieved by using next-gen Coloured PPF technology.

Why Coloured PPF is the Future of Car Wrapping

Coloured PPF is still an exclusive option, with a price point that makes it ideal for prestige and supercar owners. But for those who value paint protection, colour customisation, and a flawless finish, it’s simply unbeatable.
With one installation you get:
  • Full body protection from stone chips and scratches
  • A complete colour change with real automotive paint depth
  • Half the installation time compared to wrap + PPF
  • Long-term durability and self-healing properties
At WRAPvehicles, we see Coloured PPF as the future of car wrapping — and we’re proud to be among the first in the UK to offer this next-generation solution.
