Keep your paint looking newer longer by protecting it from rock chips, scratches, and road damage.

About This Service

What Is Paint Protection Film?

Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a virtually invisible urethane film applied directly to your vehicle's painted surfaces. It acts as a physical barrier between your paint and the road — absorbing impacts from rock chips, gravel, bug splatter, and minor abrasions before they ever reach your finish.

At KAR FX Customs, we install PPF with precision fitment on full vehicles, partial coverage (hood, fenders, mirrors, rocker panels), or any custom zone you need protected. Premium film options include self-healing technology that removes light scratches with heat from the sun or warm water.

Yes. PPF can be safely removed by a professional without damaging the underlying paint, especially when the paint was in good condition at install.

If your paint has swirl marks or light scratches, we recommend paint correction before PPF so the film locks in a perfect finish. We can advise at consultation.
