Bernina Grey PPF

Bernina Grey Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a sophisticated, mid-tone slate grey color-change solution that draws heavy inspiration from the legendary "Bernina Grey Amber Effect" found on premium European luxury sedans. This film is designed for those who appreciate a modern, architectural aesthetic that balances the rugged look of industrial concrete with a high-end, silky refinement. It offers a subtle, "stealth-wealth" appearance that is far more complex than a standard flat grey.

Architectural Depth and Amber-Infused Undertones

The defining characteristic of Bernina Grey is its unique tonal balance, which avoids the cold, blue-ish tint often found in typical grey films. Instead, it features a warm, earthy undertone that gives the vehicle a solid, "poured-metal" look.

• In Direct Sunlight: The film reveals ultra-fine metallic particles that provide a soft, amber-like shimmer. This "Amber Effect" adds a layer of warmth to the grey, making the vehicle look luminous rather than just flat.

• In Low Light: The color transitions into a dense, creamy slate that emphasizes the vehicle’s shadows and body lines. It provides a clean, "chalk-like" silhouette that feels contemporary and purposeful. The ultra-gloss finish is manufactured to be mirror-smooth, effectively eliminating "orange peel" and ensuring the surface has the depth and clarity of a multi-stage factory luxury paint job.

Professional-Grade Surface Armor

While Bernina Grey is a top-tier styling choice, the film is fundamentally a high-performance Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) shield. It acts as an 8-mil thick sacrificial skin, protecting the vehicle’s exterior from the most common road hazards:

• High-Impact Protection: The dense, elastic TPU core is engineered to absorb and dissipate the kinetic energy of flying rock chips, gravel, and road salt, keeping the factory paint underneath in pristine condition.

• Chemical and Environmental Barrier: It creates a non-porous seal that prevents permanent etching from acidic bird droppings, tree sap, and industrial fallout, which can be particularly visible on solid or mid-tone greys.

• UV Stability: Advanced UV inhibitors are integrated into the film to ensure the warm grey pigment does not yellow or fade, maintaining its precise "Bernina" balance for years.

Heat-Activated Self-Healing Technology

A standout technical feature of Bernina Grey PPF is its specialized self-healing topcoat. Maintaining a flawless, high-gloss grey can be difficult as it often shows micro-scratches from washing. This film features an elastomeric layer with "thermal memory." If the surface sustains light swirl marks or abrasions from road dust, the application of heat—whether from the sun, warm water, or a heat gun—causes the molecules to realign. This restores the film to its original, perfectly smooth state, ensuring the vehicle retains a showroom-ready finish without the need for abrasive polishing.
