Earlier this year, we had a White LUCID AIR Grand Touring for one of our Ceramic Pro Protection Packages.
This client received:
Ceramic Pro KAVACA Ceramic Coated Full Front PPF - one-piece hood, rear trim removed, vents removed.
Ceramic Pro ULTIMATE ION Lifetime Warranty Ceramic Coating.
PPF on the Hood
I'm not sure why I continue to see shops try and not do this hood in one piece. With even the most basic of prep and effort, a long-lasting, high-quality install is possible. Normally shops will shy away if a hood is huge and is extremely difficult.
Shops that are willing to sell you a multi-piece hood OR a hood with seams for these cars, is strictly looking out for themselves and not for you. The hood does require a decent bit of tension. High-tension installs require more skill of the installer. Low-tension installs, like hoods done in pieces or seams, are often reserved for low-quality installers, with the exception being something like the Aston Martin Vantage hoods or the Viper Hoods. Please find another shop if the shop you're talking to is only willing to do the PPF on that hood with seams.
This Lucid was white, so we took the time to provide a completely custom install. There are no seams or edges visible on this install. It is completely wrapped around every corner. Its not that difficult of a vehicle to provide you with wrapped edges. Again - avoid the shops telling you they won't or can't. Its strictly out of being lazy and not wanting to do even the least bit of extra work.
A word about paint quality
Paint on LUCID vehicles is water-based. Water-based paint, even if its a tri-coat, is at risk for chipping much easier. I've seen LUCID's come into the shop with chips on them with less than 20 miles. The paint is also extremely thin meaning that there isn't a ton of clear coat on the vehicle. The hardness of a thick layer of clearcoat typically allows the paint to be long-term durable. The clear coat is THIN on these cars, often reading less than 3 mils.
If you are considering PPF or are having an issue with your film from another installer, feel free to send me a DM and I can help you find a shop and help to decipher and BS a shop might feed you to placate you into accepting bad work.
