High-gloss (90% reflectivity) black appearance and an outer clearcoat integrate into vehicle designs. This black film features a PSA for easy application. An air-bleedable release liner that creates microchannels for reduced bubbling.

A High-Gloss, High Peel OEM Film with Clearcoat An excellent alternative to automotive paint and paint processes, our 3M™ Paint Replacement Film FTW9953J is intended for application to a wide range of interior and exterior surfaces, such as window frames, window sashes, window extensions, body and door pillars, dashboard components and lids (metal or plastic).This durable, pliable polyolefin film resists tearing, punctures and yellowing. The 5 mil (.127 mm) film features a high-gloss (90% reflectivity) black appearance and an outer clearcoat that meets stringent OEM automotive design specifications. The modified acrylic adhesive is pressure-sensitive for easy application and reduced cycle times, and delivers very high final adhesion and peel performance to a range of automotive surfaces even under extreme environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature changes. A 6.2 mil PET liner provides fast, easy release. 3M™ Paint Replacement Film FTW9953J eliminates the paint process and cumbersome masking and de-masking, reducing reject levels and production costs.  The air-bleedable feature of the adhesive layer has been designed for air bubble free application of the blackout film while still providing strong, reliable adhesion under extreme conditions of environmental stress such as climatic change and humidity cycling. The special release liner features a structured pattern which it imparts into the adhesive. This pattern creates microchannels in the adhesive, which allow air to escape at the film edges. This feature reduces the chance of bubbling, and allows for faster removal of any remaining bubbles without air release tools. This automotive paint replacement film is available in pre-masked, die-cut parts for fast, efficient application.
