QUESTIONS.

A wrap is a thin, flexible vinyl film applied over your car’s paint to change its color or finish — gloss, satin, matte, metallic and more. Your original paint stays underneath, so the change isn’t permanent.

• Vinyl wrap changes the color or finish of your car.
• Paint protection film (PPF) is a thicker, usually clear film that protects your paint from rock chips and scratches.
• Window tint is a film on the glass for privacy, less heat and less glare.
• Ceramic coating is a liquid layer that adds gloss and makes the car easier to wash. It does not stop rock chips.

Many customers combine them — for example, a wrap with ceramic coating, or front PPF with window tint.

Yes — that’s what we’re here for. Text us a couple of photos of your car and tell us what you’d like to change or protect. We’ll suggest options that fit your car and budget, with a written price. Ask for a recommendation ↗

On factory paint in good condition, a professionally installed wrap doesn’t damage the paint when it’s removed properly — it actually shields it from sun and light scratches. Repainted panels, rock chips or peeling clear coat can lift during removal, so we check your paint before quoting.

Quality wrap films from brands like Avery Dennison and 3M typically last around 5 to 7 years. Strong sun, outdoor parking and harsh car washes shorten that; garage parking and gentle hand washing help it last. Our wraps come with a 5-year installation warranty.

Yes. A wrap can be removed and your car returns to its original paint. Removal is quoted separately.

A quality full respray in a new color usually costs more, takes longer and is permanent. A wrap is reversible, protects the factory paint underneath and gives you finishes that are hard to get with paint, like satin or color-shift.

Yes — roofs, mirrors, hoods, stripes, chrome delete (turning shiny trim black) and more. These are priced individually; send us a photo and your idea.

Rock chips, road debris, light scratches, and stains from bugs and bird droppings. Many films “self-heal” fine swirl marks with heat. It can’t stop deep impacts or accident damage. Most people choose full front (bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors — where chips happen most) or full body.

Clear gloss PPF is nearly invisible and keeps your factory look. Matte PPF turns glossy paint into a satin finish, and color PPF changes the color while protecting the paint.

Tint is measured in VLT — the percentage of light that passes through. A lower number is darker: 5% is very dark (“limo”), 20% is dark, 35% is medium, 50% is light and 70% is barely visible.

In California, the front side windows must stay light — they need to let in at least 70% of light. Rear side windows and the back glass can be any darkness if your car has both side mirrors. A non-reflective strip is allowed on the top 4 inches of the windshield. Medical exemptions exist. We’ll go over the rules and recommend a shade for your car.

Keep them up for 3 to 5 days while the film cures. A little haze or small water spots during that time is normal. See the aftercare guide.

Our starting prices are published by vehicle type. For example: a full color change wrap starts at $2,990 for a Tesla, full-front PPF at $2,240 for a Tesla, and window tint at $590 for a sedan. Your exact price depends on the car, the film and its condition — we confirm it in writing before you book. See all starting prices ↗

It depends on the job. As a guide: window tint is usually done the same day, full-front PPF takes about 1–2 days, ceramic coating 1–2 days, and a full wrap or full-body PPF usually 3–5 days. We confirm the timing in your quote.
