The four coverage packages

Start with the panels you want to protect, then compare coverage and film options. Package names do not define identical inclusions on every vehicle; the written panel list is the scope.

  • Partial-front: selected front panels or partial-panel coverage. Confirm the bumper, hood area, fenders and mirrors, including any visible coverage edges.
  • Full-front: front-panel coverage selected for the vehicle. Confirm full versus partial panels; headlights, A-pillars and other additions must be listed separately.
  • Full-body: coverage of the painted panels specified in the quote. Confirm trim, glass, edges and any excluded areas. Film does not make the vehicle damage-proof.
  • Full-body color-change PPF: selected colored or finish-changing protection film on the agreed panels. Review a sample, product specifications and removal considerations before choosing the finish.

Why full-body color-change PPF instead of a wrap

Vinyl wrap primarily changes appearance; PPF is selected for protection on covered areas. Color-change PPF combines a different look with protection, but no film prevents every chip, scratch or stain.

Compare the exact materials rather than assuming all PPF or vinyl has the same thickness, construction or self-healing behavior. Product specifications, installation scope and written warranty terms should support the comparison.

For an appearance change with paint protection, compare color-change PPF with a vinyl-wrap quote for the same vehicle. Let the desired finish, covered panels, ownership plans and care requirements guide the choice.

What determines your PPF quote

The Build Log included — real-time photos, no extra cost

Your quote depends on the vehicle, selected film, panel coverage, preparation and any existing-film removal. Use these coverage options to start the conversation:

  • Partial-front PPF · Vehicle-specific quote
  • Full-front PPF (sedan) · Vehicle-specific quote
  • Full-front PPF (SUV, truck, or exotic) · Vehicle-specific quote
  • Full-body PPF (sedan) · Vehicle-specific quote
  • Full-body PPF (SUV, truck) · Vehicle-specific quote
  • Full-body PPF (exotic/supercar) · Vehicle-specific quote
  • Full-body color-change PPF: quoted after we see the vehicle — specialty film and panel count both matter.

Before work begins, confirm the exact film, panel list, edge treatment, preparation, exclusions and installed total in writing. Headlights, glass, trim, A-pillars and any additional work are not assumed to be included.

What to expect during the install

Timing depends on the vehicle, coverage, preparation and film. The shop confirms availability and a completion estimate after assessment. Ask about The Build Log updates during the work.

The shop assesses paint condition and repair history before installation. Confirm any wash, decontamination, polishing or other preparation in the written scope; paint correction is not automatically included.

Warranty duration, covered defects, exclusions and registration requirements depend on the selected product. Ask for its written terms and any separate workmanship coverage. Impact damage, repair and replacement are assessed separately; no free repair is implied.

/ FAQ

Paint protection film — frequently asked

Real questions from real San Antonio drivers. Written for humans and answer engines.

How long does paint protection film last?
Film life depends on the exact product, exposure, installation and care. Confirm the selected Pure PPF product and its written warranty rather than assuming every film has the same term. Removal should be assessed professionally; paint condition, repair history, film age and removal method affect the risk of damage.
Is PPF worth it on a $80K car?
Choose protection based on the vehicle's condition, exposure and your ownership plans. Protection does not eliminate all damage or guarantee a repair saving or resale return; compare a written quote with your priorities.
What is the difference between PPF and ceramic coating?
PPF is a physical film intended to help protect covered surfaces from chips and abrasion. Ceramic coating is a surface treatment selected for properties such as water repellency and easier cleaning; it is not a substitute for impact protection. A compatible coating can be considered over PPF, with both products and coverage confirmed in the quote.
What areas do you recommend for PPF?
PPF is quoted for your vehicle and selected coverage. Your written quote identifies the film, covered panels, edges, preparation and exclusions. Confirm partial versus full-panel coverage and any headlights or A-pillars separately.
Does PPF change the look of my paint?
Clear, satin, matte and colored films can affect appearance differently. Review a sample and the exact product before choosing a finish. Film edges, seams and texture may remain visible; the appearance and warranty depend on the selected film and installation scope.
Can PPF be installed on carbon fiber or matte paint?
Suitability depends on the panel's surface finish, condition and repair history, as well as the film manufacturer's instructions. The shop should assess carbon-fiber and matte-painted panels before quoting. Confirm the desired appearance and compatibility; a film can change the sheen of the underlying finish.
How long does PPF installation take?
Installation time depends on the vehicle, coverage, preparation and selected film. The shop confirms availability, installation scope and an estimated pickup time after assessment. Drying and care requirements follow the product instructions rather than a universal delivery deadline.
Can I wash my car after PPF installation?
Follow the selected film's written instructions for the first wash and ongoing care. Avoid directing pressure at film edges, and use only compatible cleaning products and methods. Ask the shop about drying, rain exposure, lifting edges and any proposed coating before treating the film.
