Paint Protection Film
Paint Protection Film in San Diego
Paint protection film, often called a clear bra, is a clear urethane layer that takes the rock chips, road debris and scratches so your paint doesn't have to. It's the strongest physical protection you can put on a car, and once it's installed it's nearly invisible.
We install PPF on everything from daily-driven Teslas to Porsches and exotics. Every job starts with a look at how you drive and which panels take the most abuse, so your coverage matches your car and your commute.
PPF Coverage Options
Choose how much of the car you want protected. Every package uses self-healing film with wrapped edges wherever the panel allows.
Partial Front
Front bumper, mirrors and the leading edge of the hood and fenders, the areas that take the most rock chips.
Full Front
Full bumper, full hood, full fenders and mirrors, so there's no visible film line across the front of the car.
Track Package
Full front plus rocker panels and high-impact areas behind the wheels, built for spirited and track driving.
Full Vehicle
Every painted panel covered for complete protection, ideal for exotics, collector cars and new deliveries.
Stealth Matte PPF
A clear satin film that turns gloss paint matte while protecting it, and peels off to restore the original finish.
Color PPF
Colored paint protection film that changes the look of your car with the impact protection of PPF.
Why Drivers Choose PPF
Southern California freeways throw a lot at a car. Paint protection film keeps the factory finish intact so the car looks new for years.
Self-healing. Light scratches and swirl marks fade away with heat from the sun or warm water
Impact resistant. Absorbs rock chips, gravel and road debris before they reach the paint
UV protection. Helps prevent fading and oxidation from the San Diego sun
Nearly invisible. Keeps the original color and gloss, or switches it to matte with stealth film
Protects resale value. Original, chip-free paint is worth more when it's time to sell or trade in

Paint Protection Film FAQs
What San Diego drivers ask before they protect their paint.
How long does paint protection film last?
Our paint protection film is backed by a 10-year warranty against yellowing, cracking, bubbling and peeling. With proper care, it protects your paint for the full decade.
Can you see paint protection film?
Very little. Modern clear film is optically clear and keeps the gloss of your paint. Wrapped edges hide the film line on most panels.
PPF vs ceramic coating: which do I need?
PPF stops physical damage like rock chips and scratches. A ceramic coating adds gloss and makes washing easier but won't stop a chip. Many owners put a coating over the film for both.
Is PPF worth it on a new car?
New cars are the best time to install it, before the first rock chip. Protecting the factory paint early keeps it original and helps resale value.
Can PPF be removed?
Yes. When it's time, the film peels off and leaves the original paint underneath in the condition it was protected in.
How much does PPF cost?
It depends on coverage, from a partial front to the full vehicle, and on the size of the car. Send us the year, make and model for a free written estimate.
