Preserving Your RV’s Value with Paint Protection Film: What Every Owner Should Know
Your RV is one of the most valuable assets you own—and it deserves the best protection. Whether you’re traveling long distances or parking at a sunny campsite, your RV’s exterior is constantly exposed to the elements. Paint protection film (PPF) is one of the most effective ways to preserve your RV’s appearance and resale value. At Florida Applied Films, we specialize in the professional installation and removal of PPF products like Diamond Shield, offering unmatched durability and long-term performance.
What is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
PPF is a clear, durable polyurethane film applied to your RV’s painted surfaces. It serves as a physical barrier that defends against rock chips, UV rays, bug splatter, bird droppings, road grime, and other environmental hazards—while remaining virtually invisible.
How Paint Protection Film Preserves RV Value
✔ Prevents Cosmetic Damage – Keeps your paint free from scratches, fading, and oxidation
✔ Maintains Original Appearance – Protects the factory finish, keeping your RV looking like new
✔ Reduces Long-Term Repair Costs – Avoid repainting and buffing out scratches
✔ Boosts Resale Potential – Buyers are more likely to pay top dollar for an RV with a flawless exterior
✔ Helps Avoid Premature Aging – Shields your RV from sun and weather damage that deteriorate surfaces over time
Where Should You Apply Paint Protection Film?
The most commonly protected RV areas include:
-
Front cap – The area most impacted by road debris and insects
-
Side mirrors – Vulnerable to chips and scratches
-
Entry doors and handle areas – Frequently touched and subject to scuffs
-
Lower side panels – Where dirt, gravel, and road salt accumulate
-
Slide-outs and compartment doors – Extra protection for moving components

It provides superior surface protection while preserving the appearance of your RV’s original paint.
