Palladium Signs now offers “clear bra” paint protection film. You’ve probably noticed how the nicks and bugs cover your car bumper and how the typical leather cover for your bumper doesn’t cut it. Having a leather “bra” on your vehicle doesn’t look great, either, and it can even scratch your paint! Plus, when you take off a leather covering from your vehicle, it can leave a mark that reveals the paint-fade contrast.
That’s why Palladium offers Paint Protection Film (or PPF), which is an alternative to leather paint protectors. PPF is virtually invisible, protecting vehicles from UV rays, rock chips, bug stains, and other road hazards.
What types of clear bra are available?
Clear bra covers the parts of your car that you want to protect. The result is that it maintains that beautiful sheen on your car. While you could cover your whole vehicle, this film typically goes on the front of your vehicle:
- Bumper, full hood, and the front fenders
- Bumper, plus partial hood and partial fenders
- Bumper only
We custom cut PPFs to fit each car we treat. While some exotic car owners will cover their entire vehicle through Palladium, we typically use a partial fit kit—half-hood, fender, bumper, and mirrors—intended to cover key impact areas on the front of your vehicle.
Clear bra is very similar to car wrapping, but it’s even thicker than a car wrap—and it’s completely clear! On top of that, this polyurethane coat is invisible and it’s two or three times thicker than traditional vinyl wraps.
Who uses a clear bra?
Clear bra protective paint film is used by anyone who wants to keep the surface of their car looking pristine. This is the new car buyer and the used car owner who wants to maintain a great look on their vehicle.
Why use clear bra to cover your vehicle?
Having recently hired a certified PPF installer, Brennon Summar, Palladium will protect your paint with precision and excellence. Here are the reasons, according to Summar, you want to protect your vehicle paint:
- Protect it from rock chips #nomorerockchips
- Your car can always look as good as it did in the lot
- When someone else scratches (or keys) your car
- To increase re-sale value
- It comes with a 10-year warranty, guaranteeing no yellowing or cracking—this covers cost of film and labor
- The process can fix oxidized paint blemishes, which means that it can restore color!
- Gives your finish a glossy look
- Makes your paint scratch resistant
- You can place it on top of a car wrap!
When you get bugs, residue, or anything else on the vulnerable places on your car, you can just wipe it off! Even if you get Sharpie marker stains on your paint, it can come right off. Not only can residue come off, but if you change your mind about the PPF, you can pull this film off without damaging your vehicle.
More about Brennon Summar: We brought Summar onto our team, because he’s a certified installer with over 5 years experience. He started by trimming fabric (plotting and weeding vinyl) as a production artist. Then, he began cutting fabric for large car shows, including cutting the fabric for trailers like Kid Rock’s and Taylor Swift’s! Summar has experience covering with PPF cars such as the Bugato, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, and Ferrari—high-end, luxury vehicles for various clients, celebrity and everyday drivers alike. Summar is 3M certified, XPEL certified, and LLumar certified for window tinting services. We’re excited to offer this new service for our clients.

The process for protecting your vehicle’s paint
If you’re interesting in protecting your car with Clear Bra, here’s the process:
- Palladium will tell you the price options for your car.
- You, the customer, decide exactly what options you want.
- Palladium works with you to schedule a time to start.
- Palladium then preps the vehicle:
- They clay bar the area to be protected. This removes tar (many companies do not do this). Not only does this make the existing paint look and feel perfect, it also allows the PPF to lay flat and clean on the paint.
- They buff the paint to restore the original state of the paint job.
- Finally, Palladium lays the clear paint protective film.
For a partial covering, this takes one day, and only two days for a full cover. Once the film is set, Palladium let’s the car cure overnight.
