If you are looking for a film to protect your car's paint, the first question is simple: which film? Fusion8 makes three paint protection films (PPF) on the same technology, Plus, Premium and Matt, and a coloured range, Colour, made to order. They differ in thickness, finish and warranty. This guide explains the differences so you can choose with confidence.
What Plus, Premium and Matt share
Fusion8 is USA technology made for the Middle East, where cars face strong sun, high heat and dust. Plus, Premium and Matt share the same construction:
- A premium aliphatic TPU base that stays clear instead of turning yellow over time.
- An advanced nano ceramic top coat.
- Heat-activated self-healing: light swirls and fine scratches fade with heat from the sun or warm water.
- A hydrophobic surface, so water and dirt bead off and the car is easier to clean.
- Resistance to UV, stains and chemicals.
Fusion8 Plus: the thickest film, with a high gloss
Plus is the flagship of the range: an 8.5 mil (216 µm) film with a high-gloss finish. More thickness means more film between your paint and the road, and Plus carries the longest warranty in the range: 12 years.
Fusion8 Premium: the same technology at 7.5 mil
Premium has the same TPU base, nano ceramic top coat and self-healing technology as Plus, in a 7.5 mil (190 µm) high-gloss film, with a 10-year warranty. It suits drivers who want strong protection and a deep gloss in a slightly thinner film.
Fusion8 Matt: protection with a satin-matte look
Matt turns gloss paint into a refined satin-matte finish while protecting it. It shares the 7.5 mil construction of Premium with a matte top layer, and comes with a 10-year warranty.
Fusion8 Colour: a new colour and protected paint
Colour is an exclusive range of coloured paint protection films in a variety of colours and finishes, combining a new look with protection. It is made to order through authorized Fusion8 centres and carries a 5-year warranty.

The warranty: how to make sure you are covered
