Protecting a vehicle’s finish requires more than a surface-level solution. Our car paint protection (opens in a new window or tab) films deliver long-lasting durability, outstanding optical clarity, and an invisible finish that ensures every vehicle leaves the production line in pristine condition — and stays that way for years. Whether facing stone chipping, weather exposure, or everyday wear, our car paint protection films create an advanced protective barrier engineered to preserve value throughout the vehicle’s lifetime.
Modern vehicles rely on advanced paint systems to enhance appearance and prevent corrosion, yet many areas of the car body remain exposed to mechanical impact and environmental stress. Traditional clear coats offer limited protection against stone chipping or abrasion. Our car paint protection films close this gap with a high-performance, nearly invisible aliphatic PUR layer designed to withstand the harshest road conditions — delivering long-lasting performance without ongoing maintenance.
By reducing repair needs, preserving flawless surfaces, and supporting OEM quality standards, our films help manufacturers protect brand value while improving customer satisfaction.
Engineered for premium aesthetics, our films seamlessly blend into painted surfaces. Their excellent optical clarity and paint-like gloss ensure the original color and design lines remain fully visible. Once applied, the films provide an invisible presence, allowing the paint to shine through without altering the vehicle’s appearance.
With more than a decade of proven field performance, our car paint protection films offer long-term UV resistance and self-healing properties that prevent yellowing and keep the film virtually invisible throughout the vehicle’s lifetime — even on white paint systems.
To support efficient OEM production, the films can be easily integrated into existing assembly processes. Customized die-cut formats with visual positioning features enable precise, repeatable placement and improve process accuracy from the start. If you need guidance selecting the right solution, our experts are available to support you.
tesa® 54994 (opens in a new window or tab) and tesa® 54995 (opens in a new window or tab) are advanced car paint protection films designed for permanent use on high-impact areas of the vehicle. Both solutions are based on single-sided transparent aliphatic polyurethane films with a permanent acrylic adhesive, offering outstanding optical clarity that makes them visually invisible once applied. Their high-gloss, highly transparent design preserves the vehicle’s original appearance while delivering durable surface protection (opens in a new window or tab) against:
Thanks to long-term UV resistance and self-healing surface properties, the films remain clear throughout the entire vehicle lifetime and do not yellow — even on white paint systems.
Both materials provide excellent conformability, making them suitable for slightly curved surfaces and complex geometries, such as:
With high dimensional stability and reliable die-cuttability, tesa® 54994 and tesa® 54995 can be supplied as customized die-cuts tailored to exact vehicle contours. Visual positioning features support precise application on OEM assembly lines and help ensure repeatable, error-free placement.

tesa® 54995
Both variants are compatible with modern paint and clear-coat systems, making them ideal for OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers seeking reliable, long-term car paint protection solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing production environments.
Explore our comprehensive car paint protection film portfolio, featuring solutions for every area of your vehicle. From bumpers to door edges, our films provide durable, long-lasting protection. Keep your car looking flawless while shielding it from scratches, chips, and everyday wear.
Every vehicle features areas that are naturally more exposed to impact, friction, and environmental contact. These zones experience significantly higher wear during everyday driving and throughout the vehicle’s lifetime. Our car paint protection films are therefore applied exactly where the stress is greatest and the surface is most heavily used.
High-impact areas such as wheel arches and fenders regularly face debris thrown up from the road surface. Door edges and door sills are frequently touched or contacted, making them especially prone to micro-scratches. Along the lower body, rocker panels are exposed to continuous spray from rain, mud, or salt, while rear bumpers often suffer from loading and unloading contact. Even painted plastic parts—commonly found on modern exterior designs—can show early signs of abrasion if not protected.
These application zones are not only visually prominent but often difficult and costly to repair once damaged. By selectively protecting these vulnerable surfaces, car paint protection films help maintain the visual integrity of the vehicle and ensure that high-stress areas remain in good condition throughout daily use. This targeted approach supports long-lasting surface quality without interfering with the vehicle’s overall design.
No. Our car paint protection films are designed to remain visually invisible once applied. Their high optical clarity and paint-like gloss finish ensure that the original color and contours of the vehicle stay fully visible. Even on challenging colors such as white, the films retain their transparency throughout the entire vehicle lifetime, thanks to the aliphatic PUR construction and UV-stable top coat. Products like tesa® 54994 (opens in a new window or tab) and tesa® 54995 (opens in a new window or tab) demonstrate how long-term clarity and premium appearance can be maintained without altering the design of the car
No, our car paint protection films are engineered specifically to avoid yellowing. Their long-term UV resistance, combined with self-healing surface properties, ensures the film maintains its original look even after years of outdoor exposure.
Our car paint protection films are ideal for zones that are exposed to mechanical wear or frequent contact. This includes wheel arches, fenders, door edges, rocker panels, rear bumpers, and painted plastic parts. These areas often show early signs of damage if not protected, which is why OEMs rely on our solutions to maintain long-term surface quality. The films help to preserve the vehicle’s appearance from the production line all the way to the end customer.
