How much does PPF cost?
PPF is priced per vehicle. Three things set the number: the size of the vehicle, how many panels you cover, and whether the paint needs correction before film goes on. A partial front on a sedan and a full body on a truck are very different jobs, so we quote each one. Send the form above and we'll reply with your exact price.
How long does PPF last?
STEK warranties its film for 10 years against delamination, yellowing, bubbling, and cracking. With normal washing and care, the film is built to last that long.
Will it turn yellow or peel?
Not when quality film is installed correctly. STEK film is built to resist yellowing, and we tuck and wrap edges wherever the panel allows so they stay down.
PPF or ceramic coating?
PPF physically stops rock chips and scratches. Ceramic coating adds gloss and makes washing easier but won't stop a chip. Many owners do both — film on the front, coating over everything.
Are you STEK certified?
Yes. Our installers are factory-trained on STEK film and application technique.
How long does install take?
It depends on coverage. A partial front is the quickest job and a full body takes the longest, because every panel is prepped and fitted by hand. We confirm drop-off and pickup times when we send your quote.
Is a clear bra the same as paint protection film?
Yes. Clear bra is the older name for paint protection film, from when it was mostly sold as a strip across the front of the hood. Today's film is the same idea with better clarity, and it can cover anything from the front bumper to the whole vehicle.
When should I get PPF on a new car?
As early as you can. Film protects paint from the day it goes on, so the fewer highway miles before install, the less there is to correct first.
Can you install PPF over existing rock chips?
Yes, but film won't hide them. We look over the paint with you first and recommend any paint correction before the film goes on.
How do I wash a car with PPF?
Wash it like well-kept paint: by hand, with a pH-neutral soap and clean mitts. Keep pressure washers pointed away from film edges. We go over care with you at pickup.
Can PPF be removed?
Yes. Quality film is made to come off cleanly when it is removed properly, without harming the factory paint underneath. Have an installer do it.
Do you offer matte or color PPF?
Yes. We install STEK's matte, color, and carbon-pattern films as well as clear gloss. Tell us the look you're after in the quote form.
Can I put PPF on a leased vehicle?
Yes. Film helps keep the paint in turn-in condition, and it can be removed before you return the vehicle.
