Paint Protection Film

Clear urethane film over the paint that takes the rock chips, sand and bug acid for you, and heals its own light scratches in the sun.

Hand working a blue applicator over the glossy black fender of a car

Paint protection film is a clear urethane layer, about eight thousandths of an inch thick, laid over the paint by hand. Gravel off I-26, sand from the beach roads and lovebug season hit the film instead of the clear coat. Light scratches in the top layer close up again on a warm day.

We cut every kit to your exact model and wrap the edges of the hood, fenders and mirrors where the panel allows it, so there's no visible line a few steps away. The film is warranted for ten years against yellowing, cracking and peeling.

Process

Three days, start to finish

  1. We measure

    Paint depth on every panel and a walk-around under lights, with you if you like.

  2. We prepare

    Decontamination wash, clay and a polish where the paint needs one. Film and coating seal in whatever is underneath.

  3. We protect

    Film laid by hand, coating applied panel by panel, then a night indoors to cure before the hand-over.

Questions

Film, coating, or both?

Do I need film or a coating?

Film stops rock chips; a coating doesn't. A coating makes the paint glossy and easy to wash; film alone is less slick. Most of our customers put film on the front and a coating on everything, film included.

How long will my car be at the studio?

One day for a coating on a new car, two to three days for film plus coating. Coatings always cure indoors overnight before we hand the car back.

How do I wash a filmed or coated car?

By hand, with a pH-neutral shampoo, and no automatic brushes for the first week. You get a care sheet at the hand-over, and the six-month check-up wash is on us.

What does the warranty cover?

The film is covered for ten years against yellowing, cracking, bubbling and peeling. Coatings come with a written durability rating and a yearly inspection.
