RESIN FILM
Performance,
over a foundation.
A dual-layer system over sound paint, with a self-healing surface.
Performance
When the foundation is sound, the surface can do more.
RESIN FILM is a high-build performance finish engineered for a smoother, richer and more resilient surface.
It combines self-healing at the surface with chemical resistance and stronger hydrophobicity than conventional coatings. Added depth and clarity give it a more refined appearance.
It is for a finish that should perform beyond restoration.
System
Dual-layer
performance technology.
The outer layer manages chemical and environmental exposure, while the layer beneath lets the surface respond more naturally under stress.
On most vehicles, the foundation underneath is FUSION. On factory-fresh paint, the factory finish is already intact.
The layer performs. The foundation carries it.

Feature

Traditional coatings
Process and protection
RESIN FILMRebuilds factory clearcoat instead of cutting it down, then adds a dual-layer performance layer with surface-level self-healing.
Traditional coatingsPaint correction thins the clearcoat, then a ceramic coating goes on top.
Thickness
RESIN FILMAbout +13 µm on a typical vehicle: rebuilt clearcoat plus RESIN FILM.
Traditional coatingsAbout −4 µm: −5 µm of polishing, +1 µm of coating.
Depth and clarity
RESIN FILMRebuilt clearcoat and RESIN FILM together give more depth and clarity.
Traditional coatingsDepth and clarity depend on the quality of the prep.
Longevity and maintenance
RESIN FILMLasts longer because the foundation is stronger. 7-year product warranty, terms apply. Like any finish, it needs maintaining.
Traditional coatingsSolid performance, but needs a refresh every 1–2 years.
Partnership, not replacement
RESIN FILMThe upgrade path: performs better and lasts longer on a stronger foundation.
Traditional coatingsA proven product loved by detailers.
Micron figures describe a representative case, not a fixed specification. What a vehicle gains depends on what it started with.

Surface preparation
Prepare and refine the surface to the condition required for the performance system.

03
RESIN application
The RESIN layer is applied first, through a controlled process designed to create a rich, high-build performance surface.
Controlled application
04
FILM application and final finish
Once the RESIN layer has cured, the FILM layer is applied to add surface flexibility, durability and environmental resistance.

Questions
Asked about RESIN FILM.
What is RESIN FILM?
A dual-layer system that adds a thicker, high-build performance layer over a measured and properly prepared foundation.
How is it different from ceramic coating?
It is thicker and self-healing, and it goes on over a foundation that has already been measured and restored — usually by FUSION. A ceramic coating goes straight onto whatever clearcoat is left.
Is it permanent?
It is a long-lasting performance layer, but the surface remains exposed to normal wear and should be checked periodically.
What vehicles is it for?
New or used vehicles where long-term appearance and easier maintenance are priorities.
