Ever wonder how they make the templates fo PPF kits? Probably not but in case you have I just came across a great expose on one way that companies like Xpel get their templates for precut paint protection film. At first it seemed like a low-tech, labor-intensive way to go about it but the more I think about it the more I realize it couldn't be any other way. Check out my quick summary here and there is a link in the blog post to the complete expose on the TintDude form: http://blog.rvinyl.com/2014/03/27/how-to-make-a-paint-protection-kit-an-insiders-look-at-precut-ppf-kits/

Very cool, never thought about it before but I can see how you would need to take the time to map this out and then have it in a database to bring up for later.

The amount of labor up front I can see being the focus of bigger profits down the road.

Yeah, seems like a huge gamble to me but it's cool to see how they do it.
