Choose by exposure

Protect the panels at risk

PPF coverage should match the vehicle, route, and ownership goal. Start with the impact zones, then expand only where the added protection makes sense.

01

Urban driving

Start with the front bumper or a partial front package when focused leading-edge protection is the priority.

See front-end packages
02

Highway exposure

Standard or premium front-end coverage is the stronger fit for frequent road debris and high-impact travel.

03

Long-term ownership

Full-body gloss or matte film extends physical protection across painted panels and supports a consistent finish.

PPF or ceramic coating?

Different tools for different risks

PPF is the physical layer for impact-prone paint. Ceramic coating supports gloss, hydrophobic behaviour, and easier washing.

Ask about your vehicle
How much does PPF cost in Vancouver?

PPF starts at $650 for a front bumper, $1,100 for partial front end, $1,750 for standard front end, and $2,250 for premium front-end coverage. Full-body PPF starts at $4,500 for gloss and $5,000 for matte, with higher tiers by vehicle size, film finish, panel complexity, edge work, and paint condition.

How long does PPF last?

Quality paint protection film can last many years when installed and maintained correctly. Eligible packages may carry up to 12 years of manufacturer-backed warranty coverage.

What is the difference between PPF and ceramic coating?

PPF is a physical film for impact-prone paint protection. Ceramic coating supports gloss, slickness, hydrophobic behavior, and easier washing, but it is not a substitute for film on rock-chip zones.

Can ceramic coating be applied over PPF?

Yes. Ceramic coating can be applied over paint protection film when the film is installed and prepared correctly. The film provides physical protection, while the coating supports maintenance and gloss.
