Understanding your quote
What affects your price
Every vehicle is different. These six factors explain why two quotes for "the same job" can look nothing alike.
Vehicle size
A sedan needs less film, coating, and labor than a full-size truck or SUV. Bigger panels, higher price.
Coverage area
Full-front PPF costs less than full-vehicle coverage. Partial packages sit in between.
Paint condition
Existing swirls or scratches need correction before protection - essential for quality, and it adds cost.
Product tier
Higher-end films and coatings last longer and carry better warranties, at a higher material cost.
Vehicle complexity
Tight curves and complex body lines take more installation time and skill on some vehicles than others.
Current protection
Existing film or coating may need removal before new protection, adding labor.
