I have had three newer cars with the PPF. The first two were installed by a dealers and the parting line was noticeable (thicker material). You could tell the look was different versus the paint finish.
The third was done by a professional detaiier. I was stunned by how invisible the film was and by how thin it was. I could barely see the parting line. The detailer explained that the one he installed is a much thinner material but superior to the thicker one. I would imagine the thinner film would be more conformable to the curves on the Pagodas and Mercedes of the 60s.
