A wide range of glossy, matte and texture films looks promising. The material on a dense adhesive base is easy to use. Due to the thickness of 110–120 microns, when laying, it stretches well, has sufficient tearing strength, so that during the pasting the master has the opportunity to feel the ultimate tension and save the web from damage.

Considering the relative novelty of the material in the Russian market, there is still little information about the quality of the film. In the available reviews, there is a good color and saturation. The physical characteristics of vinyl are close in their parameters to the leaders of our rating, but the duration of effective operation is not yet fully understood.

9 Fivestar

This is the most affordable vinyl film that participates in our rating, produced in China, and has surprisingly good quality performance indicators. The duration of the operational period (3 years or more) is due to resistance to external destructive factors. The film does not lose its original properties under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, temperature, moisture, and is immune to chemically active liquids (gasoline, etc.)

High-quality glue layer with microchannels for air removal and a high rate of ultimate tension ensure the performance of work with this film without any special difficulties. The FiveStar product range is distinguished by a large range of shades and textures, and given the constant increase in quality at a still low price, the brand is actively expanding its presence in the Russian market.

8 Teckwrap

Vinyl film of this brand is produced in Taiwan, on the latest equipment using US technology. This decorative material is presented to the consumer by various options of color solutions in the form of a matte, carbon or glossy surface.A variety of colors attracts owners who want to give their car style and personality.

TeckWrap film specifications are pretty high. It remarkably withstands temperature fluctuations, without cracking or changing its basic functions under the influence of frost. It is easy to apply to the car body (even amateurs can handle it), it has a very high tension ratio and special micropores for air bleeding. Owners in their reviews also positively assess the presence of TeckWrap vinyl film with sufficient protective properties (its thickness is 130 microns), which are able to prevent minor damage to paintwork materials from sand, pebbles and tree branches.

7 ORACAL

Vinyl film ORACAL meets the highest expectations of domestic motorists, because produced in Germany, where there are stringent requirements for quality and safety. A wide range of products is represented by a diverse range of colors, shades and textures. Especially prized vinyl film with the effect of "Chameleon", the color of which varies depending on the angle of view. ORACAL products are certified, complies with international standards for this group of products, and has high technical performance indicators.

Vinyl film, judging by the reviews of the owners, demonstrates resistance to the effects of harmful environmental factors, is minimally susceptible to negative temperatures and sunlight. The manufacturer guarantees 60 months of operation without visible deterioration of the film properties. Also, the adhesion density over welding seams and riveted materials was highly appreciated (it can be used in the treatment of water transport).

6 KPMF

This brand is known to domestic car enthusiasts for their high quality products. The flagship VWS vinyl series (Vehicle Wrapping System Films) is advantageously distinguished by its innovative color (it has a special optical effect of rainbow transfusion of the spectrum) and a diverse texture. The peculiarity of the adhesive layer allows you to remove material from body parts within three years from the moment of pasting, without the slightest threat to spoil the main surface of the car. In addition to external efficiency, KPMF protects paintwork from ultraviolet radiation, minor scratches and many chemically active substances (including those used for winter road processing).

The forum sign-forum.ru has many reviews that contain the positive characteristics of these vinyl films. Despite the complexity of installation (as a rule, problems arise not from professional craftsmen, but from amateurs), the result is more than spectacular - the external characteristics of the car are not only excellent, but unique, making the car a center of attention.

5 Nippon Carbide

Being a premium vinyl material, Nippon Carbide film is not only of the highest quality, but also has a corresponding cost. Products with a carbon texture show a deep clarity of drawing and create a complete imitation of high-tech material that is difficult to distinguish from the original. Despite its dense structure, vinyl is easy to fit on the complex elements of the body. Models with a mirror surface layer (chrome, gold and other colors) provide perfect evenness of fit, provided professional pasting (it is too expensive to experiment by yourself with Japanese vinyl).

Judging by the reviews of the owners, this material has received the greatest distribution when processing door handles, moldings, mirrors, etc. For one-piece car pasting, the film is applied much less frequently, and, as a rule, Nippon Carbide is used to process luxury brands.

4 Avery

Premium vinyl material for car pasting fully meets the expectations of the owners, demonstrating the richness of shades and the rich color gamut. There are about 11 different textures, from diamond chips to cold matte coating, which can dramatically change the appearance of the machine in a matter of hours. Perfect casting quality is achieved by high-class equipment and tight control of manufactured products, the marriage of which is possible only due to improper storage or transportation.

The thickness of the vinyl material is only 80 microns, and at the same time it demonstrates stretching up to 180% of the original length, which allows you to lay it on the most complex body elements.

3 3M

Another bright manufacturer of American vinyl produces high-quality products with a long service life. Depending on the nature of exploitation and climatic conditions, the film is able to retain its original properties for more than 10 years without fading into the sun or cracking from frost (subject to the recommendations of the plant).

Some drivers, who use 3M vinyl films for their cars, kindly share information about the experience gained on the Internet. So, on one of the portals (forum.savecars.ru) there are reviews that can be used to track the characteristics of operating this material in different conditions (the behavior of 3M vinyl in frost is of great interest). Despite the rather long history in the Russian market, the products of a popular brand have not lost their relevance, remaining among the best films. Among the shortcomings, it is possible to note a small (compared to other brands) choice of material in color and texture.

2 Hexis

It is no coincidence that the French manufacturer was in the top three of our rating - vinyl films are distinguished by high quality, a large assortment of colors and textures (constantly updated) and the presence of exclusive collections of material (imitation of leather, velvet, etc.). It is the combination of the above criteria that determines the great popularity among motorists.

As a rule, many owners choose to glue on their cars with vinyl film, pursuing aesthetic goals (for protection they use more dense anti-gravel materials). Hexis offers the best color solutions on the market. In addition, a large selection of textures (carbon, matte steel, gloss, mirror coating, etc.), ease of installation and long service life (from 6 to 8 years) in the feedback of owners are positioned as having a decisive influence on the choice in favor of this brand. .

1 Arlon

American-made vinyl films are no less popular on the Russian market than dubbing materials. High quality and rich colors make it possible to transform the appearance of a car in a matter of hours. Modern equipment for the production of solid films creates a product that is completely identical in appearance to the paintwork. A special composition of the glue base has been developed, which ensures a sure fixation of the material. With full body pasting, paintwork is reliably protected from ultraviolet rays, which affects its durability.

The owners in their reviews express their complete satisfaction with the high quality of Arlon vinyl materials. The film stretches well, has a strong adhesive base and gives a small shrinkage.Having a thickness of 100 microns, it reliably performs protective functions in urban use, preventing small chips and scratches. In addition, the material is resistant to gasoline and auto chemistry, and has a long service life (more than 10 years), the duration of which is greatly influenced by the quality of the pasting.
