The present invention relates to surface coatings and particularly to paint utilized for automobiles and numerous other applications.
Coatings, paints and protective layers currently represent a burgeoning in industry in a time when consumers expect the most from an investment. Additionally, automobile detailing is a large and growing industry. Automobile body shops across the country provide professional paint jobs that allow their customers to customize their cars. Currently, there are some at home paint and detail kits but these kits require spray equipment, can yield low quality results, are costly, and are permanent. Some of the concurrent coatings are solvent based and thus unsafe and dangerous to users.
The known at home paint and detail kits are not user friendly. Most paints will run or easily leave imperfections if a consumer is not trained in paint equipment or is not meticulous in preparation and use. These kits are also costly and time consuming. Furthermore these kits create a permanent coat of adhesive paint on the automobile body.
Likewise body shops that perform these car wraps, or new coats of paint and paint designs, are permanent. The current technology uses an adhesive layer of paint that creates a permanent bond with the body of the automobile. This adhesion is only overcome by professional grade chemicals or repainting the automobile again.
There is a need in the art for a paint wrap that is easy to use, durable, cost effective, and flexible as far as changeability.

It is a further object of this product and system to reveal a film composed of a water based emulsion which can be sprayed wet and then it forms a film on a vehicle or other applicable object.
The instant product may feature a paint possessing the capability of being removed by simply peeling it away from the surface that is coated. These stretch technologies allow the paint coat to remove in large quadrants and without the use of chemicals and excessive tools, thus making the removal process fast and efficient. The paint product may be packaged in gallon and quart systems, in aerosol cans, all with instructions for use. This paint can be applied using a spray gun, a roller, a brush, or any other paint tool as the paint technology allow for self-settling. The paint can be applied to a variety of surfaces including windows, tires, metal, and plastic. The paint can be used for detail work as it is easy to cut away sections that have been coated to reveal trim or other features.
The paint can be customized into a variety of colors including the possibility of photo luminescence and scented paints. Once a coat of the peelable paint has been properly applied, additional layers of this product or other paint and design products can be applied over it and the wrap will still easily peel away. This allow for further customization, such as graffiti and other art forms expressed over the top of the peelable paint surface and then removed in total. The paint can come in matte or glossy surfaces as well as other paint finishes.
The instant system may also act as a peelable base wherein other paints or substances may be applied over the peelable coat for easy removal.
It is also an objective of the instant formulation to introduce a series of object surface film coatings or paint film coatings.
Another feature of the instant design is its durability. It can be washed, and will withstand natural weather elements as well as heat and cold conditions.
