A Classic Beauty: The 1991 Ford F150

The 1991 Ford F150 is an iconic truck known for its rugged reliability and timeless design. This particular model is even more special due to its incredibly low mileage of approximately 17,000 miles. The client, a proud owner of this classic vehicle, approached us with a clear goal: to keep the truck looking as new as possible for years to come, while maintaining its stock condition.

Brief History of the 1991 Ford F150

The Ford F150 has been a staple in the American automotive market for decades. The 1991 model is part of the ninth generation of the Ford F-Series, which was produced from 1987 to 1991.

The 1991 F150 featured a range of engine options, including the popular 5.0L V8, offering a balance of power and efficiency.

The Importance of Paint Protection

Maintaining the pristine condition of a classic vehicle like the 1991 Ford F150 requires more than regular washes and waxes. Over time, exposure to the elements, road debris, and UV rays can take a toll on the paint and overall appearance. This is where paint protection film (PPF) comes into play. PPF is a clear, durable film that is applied to the vehicle’s exterior surfaces to protect against scratches, chips, and other damage.



Benefits of XPEL ULTIMATE FUSION

For this project, we used XPEL ULTIMATE FUSION, the pinnacle of paint protection films. This product offers numerous benefits:

  • Self-Healing Properties: XPEL ULTIMATE FUSION features a self-healing top coat that repairs minor scratches and swirl marks with heat, such as from the sun or a warm garage.
  • Stain Resistance: The film resists staining from contaminants like bird droppings, bug splatter, and road tar, ensuring the paint stays looking new.
  • Enhanced Gloss: XPEL ULTIMATE FUSION enhances the gloss of the paint, giving the truck a deep, polished look.
  • Ceramic Coating Integration: This film combines the benefits of a paint protection film with a ceramic coating, providing both physical protection and hydrophobic properties. Water and dirt repel off the surface, making the vehicle easier to clean.
  • Warranty: XPEL ULTIMATE FUSION comes with a 10-year warranty, giving the owner peace of mind that their investment is protected for years to come.

Application Process

Applying XPEL ULTIMATE FUSION to a vehicle requires precision and expertise. Our team at Nashville ClearBra is trained and certified by XPEL to ensure flawless application. The process involves several steps:

  1. Thorough Cleaning: The vehicle is meticulously cleaned to remove any dirt, grime, or residues that could affect the film’s adhesion.
  2. Prepping the Surface: Any existing imperfections are addressed, and the surface is prepped to ensure optimal adhesion.
  3. Custom Cut Patterns: Using XPEL’s advanced pattern-cutting software, we create custom patterns tailored to the specific make and model of the vehicle. This ensures a perfect fit with no cutting on the vehicle’s surface.
  4. Application: The film is carefully applied to the vehicle, ensuring there are no bubbles or imperfections. Our technicians use a combination of heat and squeegees to ensure a smooth, even application.
  5. Final Inspection: After application, the vehicle is inspected to ensure the film is perfectly applied and any remaining bubbles are addressed.

The Advantages of Ceramic Window Tint

In addition to paint protection, our client wanted to protect the interior of the 1991 Ford F150 while maintaining its classic look. We recommended XPEL PRIME XR PLUS ceramic window tint for its superior performance and benefits.

Benefits of XPEL PRIME XR PLUS

XPEL PRIME XR PLUS is a high-performance ceramic window tint that offers several key advantages:

  • Heat Rejection: This tint blocks up to 98% of infrared heat, keeping the interior cool and comfortable, even on the hottest days.
  • UV Protection: XPEL PRIME XR PLUS blocks 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting the interior from fading and damage while also reducing the risk of skin cancer.
  • Glare Reduction: The tint reduces glare from the sun and headlights, enhancing driving comfort and safety.
  • Privacy and Security: XPEL PRIME XR PLUS provides added privacy by making it more difficult for outsiders to see into the vehicle. It also helps to protect the contents of the vehicle from prying eyes.
  • No Signal Interference: Unlike some metallic tints, XPEL PRIME XR PLUS does not interfere with electronic signals, ensuring that GPS, radio, and mobile devices work flawlessly.

Application Process

The application of XPEL PRIME XR PLUS requires skill and attention to detail. Our process includes:

  1. Surface Preparation: The windows are thoroughly cleaned to remove any dust, dirt, or residues.
  2. Custom Cutting: The tint is cut using precision software to match the exact dimensions of each window.
  3. Application: The tint is carefully applied to the interior side of the windows, ensuring there are no bubbles or imperfections.
  4. Curing: The tint is allowed to cure, ensuring it adheres perfectly to the glass.
  5. Final Inspection: After application, we perform a final inspection to ensure the tint is flawless and meets our high standards.

Protecting a Classic: The 1991 Ford F150 Paint Protection Ceramic Tint Project

For this project, we applied both XPEL ULTIMATE FUSION paint protection film and XPEL PRIME XR PLUS ceramic window tint to the 1991 Ford F150. The goal was to preserve the truck’s pristine condition while maintaining its stock appearance. Here’s a detailed overview of the work we performed.

Paint Protection Film Application

The first step was to protect the truck’s paint with XPEL ULTIMATE FUSION. We covered all the vulnerable areas, including the hood, fenders, mirrors, front bumper, and other high-impact zones. Given the truck’s low mileage and pristine condition, it was essential to protect these areas from potential damage caused by road debris, insects, and other hazards. Below is a small portion of what we covered as we installed a full coverage clear bra on this truck.

  • Hood and Fenders: These areas are particularly susceptible to rock chips and scratches. Applying the PPF here ensures that the paint remains intact and flawless.
  • Front Bumper: These high-impact areas often suffer from bug splatter and road debris. The PPF protects against these elements, keeping the truck looking new.
  • Doors and Bed Sides: Protecting these areas helps prevent scratches and dings from daily use and parking lot mishaps.

Ceramic Window Tint Application

Next, we applied 70% XPEL PRIME XR PLUS ceramic window tint to the truck’s windows which is a see through film. This not only enhances the truck’s appearance a small amount due to it’s very limited tint but also provides critical protection for the interior from IR and UV rays.

  • Front Windows & Windshield: Tinting the front windows reduces glare and keeps the interior cooler, improving driving comfort.
  • Rear Windshield: Tinting the rear windshield can add privacy and helps protect the interior from UV damage. This truck got our 70% film to simply reject heat and UV while not looking tinted.
