It depends on the material being installed. Color change vinyl, commercial printed vinyl, and some colored paint protection films may hide the repaired area. Clear paint protection film will not hide bodywork because it is see-through.
Some colored PPF films are also transparent. Before installing the film, the shop needs to confirm whether the material will hide the repair or show what is underneath. If the film is clear, gloss, matte, or see-through, the repaired area needs to be painted and fully cured first.
