Paint Protection Film (PPF) Installation

The 10 and the 15 chew up front bumpers. Paint protection film is a clear urethane layer that takes the rock chips, sand blasting and bug etching instead of your paint — and modern film self-heals light swirls with heat. It's invisible when installed properly, and it's the difference between a clean front end and a resprayed one at trade-in time.

What you get

Rock chip defense

Front bumper, hood leading edge and mirrors take the worst of freeway debris.

Self-healing top coat

Fine scratches and swirls disappear with sun or warm water on quality film.

Wrapped edges

Where the panel allows, film is tucked so you don't see a line across your paint.

Coverage to your budget

Partial front, full front, high-impact kit or full-vehicle — priced per panel.

How the job runs

  1. 1

    Paint inspection

    We check for existing chips and contamination; film locks in whatever is underneath.

  2. 2

    Decontamination wash

    Panels are washed and clayed so nothing is sealed under the film.

  3. 3

    Pattern application

    Computer-cut patterns are wet-applied, squeegeed and tucked at the edges.

  4. 4

    Cure and check

    Film sets for 24–48 hours; we inspect edges once it has fully bonded.

Turnaround: Partial fronts are commonly a same-day job. Full fronts and larger coverage are usually a one to two day booking.

Common questions

PPF or ceramic coating?
Different jobs. PPF is physical impact protection; ceramic coating is a chemical-resistant, easy-clean finish. Many customers do PPF on the front and coating over everything.
Will it yellow?
Quality modern film is non-yellowing and warranted against it. The cheap eBay stuff is not.
Can it be removed later?
Yes — it comes off without damaging factory paint when removed correctly.
