ARMOR FAQs
What is XPEL ARMOR?
ARMOR is XPEL's heavy-duty, 23-mil thick paint protection film with a pebbled texture finish. It looks and performs like spray-on bed liner, but it's a removable film. It's designed for the most aggressive environments — off-road trails, work trucks, commercial vehicles, and high-wear areas.
Can ARMOR cover existing damage?
Yes. Unlike standard clear PPF that shows what's underneath, ARMOR's textured finish can mask existing scratches, scuffs, and minor paint damage. This makes it a great solution for vehicles that already have trail rash or work wear.
How does ARMOR compare to spray-on bed liner?
ARMOR provides similar rugged protection and appearance, but it's removable. Spray-on bed liner is permanent and can lower resale value. ARMOR can be removed if you sell the vehicle or want to change the look, with no damage to the paint underneath.
Can ARMOR be combined with other PPF?
Absolutely. Many customers use ARMOR on high-impact zones like rocker panels and bumpers, then XPEL Ultimate Plus or Stealth on the main body panels for a combination of rugged and invisible protection.
