Abstract
Methods of applying a paint film on a substrate may include adhering a corner patch on at least a portion of a corner of the substrate and adhering a paint film sheet on the substrate such that the corner is within a corner relief pattern of the paint film sheet. The corner relief pattern may correspond to a recess along an edge of the paint film sheet. The paint film sheet may partially overlap with and bond with the corner patch, thereby providing a continuous paint film over at least the corner of the substrate. Cosmetic paint films configured for adhering onto an exterior panel of a motor vehicle are also provided.
