See video for description and review including some damage caused by the frame rubbing on another bike! I’m not the best at fitting these fiddly kits but thought I’d give it a bash!

Very nice review Rob and you have a great looking bike.

Today I installed "most" of a paint protection kit for my Giant Trance E+ 2. Invisiframe doesn't make a kit for my bike but fortunately Chameoleon Skin makes one. The PPF film is self-healing but the Chameoleon Skin kit does not include coverage for the fork.

I have had the same experience as you -- quite challenging to install the large pieces and requires a lot of time and patience, but the outcome is rewarding and I believe the paint on my bike will be protected. I used a hair dryer on a couple of places that had compound curves.

Mark at Sterland’s cycles in Bristol installed mine on the 2019 Turbo Levo Comp Carbon it cost £50 for professional fitting. It looks great but would have taken me ages to do.

I fitted a kit to my Whyte t129 5 years ago, there are lots of knocks and scrapes on the film after numerous crashes and weekly rides during that time, but the only place paint is missing is from tyre rub ( I fitted a bigger rear tyre than it was meant for, I guess it dorms and runs when cornering). So based on that I just fitted a kit to my orbea wild fs 21 model year.

You need patience if diy fitting but if you like to keep your bike in good nick is not a bad investment.

Just fitted a kit on my Rise , you definitely need patience ! Initially I think I had a little too much baby shampoo in the spray, reduced it and it was better. Top tube was hardest one , it wouldn't stay stuck to the kink and in retrospect would have been better to put the infill pieces around the shock mount first , the one on the bolt side didn't line up with the hole because I think the top tube one stretched , I had to cut the hole bigger . Happy with the final result though .

I fitted two kits to my Levo and sl one you get the hang of it it’s fairly easy I must say tho after only a couple is week there a few cuts in it from stones hitting the frame

I thought it would be a bit harder wearing than it is

Has anyone tried fitting a matte kit on a frame with a gloss finish? If so, did it result in a satin or matte look or just come out weird?

Pretty sure some one in here fitted a Matt kit to a gloss purple trek rail it looked nice hopefully there see this and post up a pic

Well worth doing especially on carbon frames. I invisiframe all of my bikes except titanium frames. The more you fit the easier the job becomes. I find it quite therapeutic now.

I saw that. It's one of the best looking finishes I've ever seen.

My instinct is that the effect he has maybe wouldn't translate to other bikes, so I was hoping to find more examples to help me imagine whether it would make sense on my Wild FS.
