How much does PPF cost? - A Guide.
With over a decade of experience in applying PPF we're confident in advising our customers that the starting cost for PPF application on your vehicle begins at a reasonable £350.
We do acknowledge that navigating your way around the automotive paint protection market can often seem like an obstacle course of options and expenses and opinions. Lots of different companies all offering the next 'big thing' in paint protection. We invite you to take a look around our website, perhaps come to us and tour our facilities and see for yourself why we're the only XPEL certified PPF installers in Bristol.
We offer XPEL ppf installation in both XPEL Stealth and XPEL Ultimate Plus finishes backed up with a 10-year manufacturers guarantee. But what does it cost? What do you need to know? Read on...
PPF (Paint Protection Film) Costs
While £350 may serve as the entry point, the total expense can vary significantly depending on the coverage you require. We offer several coverage options, ranging from protecting just the front bumper (also known as a front bra) to partial front coverage, to complete full-car coverage. So, the actual cost of paint protection film can differ based on many factors.
How much coverage of your car's paint surface you require.
The size of your car
How complex the work will be.
An example would be there is a big difference between the rear wings of a McLaren Senna and the rear of a BMW M2.

The Cost Benefits of Installing PPF
While the initial outlay for PPF may give potential buyers pause, it's crucial to consider the long-term financial benefits. By safeguarding your vehicle from environmental and mechanical abrasions, PPF effectively preserves your car's resale value. It also reduces the frequency—and thus, the cost—of regular cleaning and maintenance.
As professional PPF installers we confidently state that the application and removal process poses no risk to the car's exterior, it's simply adding another layer of financial safety to the deal. If the paint protection film gets damaged and needs to be replaced, then we simply remove the protective film on that panel and install new. As long as the damage hasn't been significant and gone through the paint protection film into the paint, then your car's paintwork will remain in pristine condition.
The advantages of installing PPF extend beyond mere cost-benefit equations or saving the cost of your car having a respray (and let's be honest, you can usually spot a resprayed car too...) PPF acts as a self-healing shield against a range of damage, including but not limited to:
Rock chips & stone chips
Road debris
Light scratches
Environmental contaminants
Oxidisation
UV rays
Swirl marks
PPF coverage options for vulnerable areas
Choosing the right PPF coverage can be akin to selecting the perfect insurance policy for your vehicle. Most people opt for safeguarding vulnerable areas prone to damage, such as the front bumper or the full front end including the bonnet, as these are the areas most likely to encounter regular attacks from stones / road debris.
However, full-car coverage offers the most comprehensive protection and protects your vehicle from all angles.
