What happens when paint protection film is cut?
A cut through the film is past what heat can fix. Film heals dents in its surface, not missing material. The question now is whether the cut stopped at the paint. Usually it did, because that is the point of the film.
What kind of repair does it need?
Replacing the film on that section or panel. Film is cut and fitted panel by panel, so a damaged bonnet section is just that section.
Wrap and paint protection film are cut and fitted panel by panel. Damage on one panel means one panel of film.
What to do next
Expect to pay for this one. Film warranties can exclude damage from rocks, road debris and other outside forces. Your car insurance may be the better question. Ask the installer to check the paint while the film is off. If the cut reached the paint, that is a separate job with its own quote.
