Those average prices are strictly for the sale & installation of our PPF. Each car may have different needs when it comes to paint correction, so we cannot speak to what that would cost.

These are some averages: A partial front end (half hood, half fenders, mirrors, bumper) runs about $1,000. A full front end (full hood, full fenders, mirrors, bumper) is about $2,000. A full vehicle wrap runs $5k-$8k.

The price will depend on several factors, including the vehicle model and the amount of coverage you want. For example, some owners opt to have all painted surfaces protected, while others just go for the areas that take the most punishment (front bumper, hood, rocker panels, etc). The best way...

We actually have the thickest PPF in the industry, SunTek PPF Ultra Defense. It's classified as our high-impact resistant PPF. Check out the video below where Stradman gets his Gladiator protected.

It is safe to use ceramic coatings over our PPF, and they will not negatively impact the performance of our PPF. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Hi, it's great to hear that you are so happy with our Matte PPF. You should share some photos of your Tesla.

Hi PhilDavid, There is no difference in appearance of the "gloss look" between our Ultra Defense and Ultra products. I have seen them side by side on many cars. Here are a couple of videos we did for PPF consumer awareness and the added benefits of our SunTek Ultra Defense. The first is showing...

Hi, It's actually 8 Mils in the article which is a different rule of measure than millimeter. You are right 8mm would be way to thick. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Thanks.

Thanks for reading! Also having 5 out of 5 is impressive, is there any additional advice you'd give someone who reads this?

Seems to be some folks are wondering if PPF is worth the investment, and while it is far from cheap it can definitely drive up resale value. One thing I talk to people about is going to Kelley Blue Book and looking at trade-in and resell values. For a car in this price range, $1500/2000 to...

This is impressive, we only see a glimpse - but this uptick is reflected in what we saw from our dealers as well. Tesla's in everyone's garage!

Hello! Not a dumb question at all, could I ask the shop you are working with (shop name and location?) if they are willing to say the 10 year is SunTek then I am unsure if their 5 year film is SunTek, sounds like it may be something else. I would ask them straight up what brand it is, that...

Hi Neil, There is no need to wait for an OEM painted vehicle, you can apply SunTek PPF upon delivery! The ~30 day wait is for paint repairs, body shop work, etc. We stand behind our film and it being removed from OEM paint as we are familiar with the quality of the paint work from OEMs. The...

We're currently working on updating the website with Ultra Defense content. Quite simply it is a thicker version of Ultra so the performance content on Ultra remains for Ultra Defense. Ultra is ~8 mil thick, and Ultra Defense is ~11.5 mil thick. This is designed for increased impact resistance...

The motor running and warming the panels - just to be clear on what that meant haha.

Both should be done by a trained installer but I would say coating would be less technique-sensitive. From a purely cost perspective coatings cost less, but you have to weigh that to benefits. It really depends on what you are looking for!

Some people pick just one, but you don’t have to choose. You can have PPF, ceramic, or both. What’s your choice and why? Not sure? Check out our latest blog post to break it down Ceramic and PPF. What’s the Deal? - Tesla Motors Club Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

I have dug into this situation and this was actually our PPF Ultra product, not the thicker Ultra Defense product just to be clear. Regardless we are working to rectify the issue. Thanks!

Hi LandToSea, I just sent you a DM!

Hey Phil, one of your fellow TMC members posted a great experience with Ultra Defense you can find it here SunTek/Ultra Defense Paint Protection Film (PPF) Group Buy in NOVA/DC - TLC Auto Detail

Awesome review, and we're very happy to see how well your PPF experience went. You definitely put in the time and research to understand what you wanted from film performance to installation quality and it paid off! John came by our booth at SEMA and is definitely a fantastic installer. Thanks...

TMC members, these are your top 3 PPF interests based on comments and interactions we've seen the last 6 months. 1. Whether PPF and ceramic should be used together or separately, and why 2. How to look at your PPF installation and know if it’s good or bad quality 3. What are...

Great to see the positive experiences with PPF. Over the years technology for PPF has advanced and many films including ours now offer 10 year warranties against cracking, discoloration, etc. What we've taken pride in is the ease of removal when/if neccessary without leaving behind adhesive, or...

What are you seeing degrade about the finish? I've heard our dealers say the paint has been blemished in spots prior to PPF install but I am curious what people are seeing trend over time?

Paint Protection Film can be used on your new piece when you install it to prevent any further scratching.

Yeah those are poorly hand cut edges. There is nothing wrong with hand cut over a computer cut pattern, but yes that just isn't done well. I hope you can have that corrected!
