Paint Protection Film & Color Wraps
Self-healing PPF and bespoke vinyl color wraps installed in Heber City.
Is PPF or a color wrap right for your vehicle?
- You drive US-40, US-189 Provo Canyon, I-80 Parley's, or Daniels Pass and the rock-chip volume is real.
- You just bought a 2023+ vehicle and a single repainted hood will cost more than a full-front PPF install.
- Your new Tesla, Rivian, Porsche, Corvette, or BMW M came with factory paint that scuffs from a closing fingernail.
- You want a color change without the permanence (or cost) of a repaint.
- You want to chrome-delete or partial-wrap without committing to a full color change.
Not the right pick if you just want cosmetic gloss restoration — paint correction + ceramic is the correct path for paint that's not yet damaged.

Wasatch Back drivers see gravel from Heber Valley construction, canyon road debris on US-189, and snowplow rocks on Daniels Pass. A single rock chip on a 2023 painted hood costs $1,500+ to repair correctly; a full PPF front-end install costs a fraction of one repaint. Vinyl color wraps are the other half of this service — fully reversible color changes that protect the factory paint underneath.
- 1. Decontaminate & correctIron and clay decon, then single-stage enhancement so the film bonds to glass-smooth paint.
- 2. Computer plotter cutPPF or vinyl cut on a plotter to your exact vehicle's panel geometry.
- 3. Wet install + squeegeeSlip solution lets us position the film perfectly; squeegees and heat lock it down.
- 4. Edge tuckEvery edge wrapped under door jambs, hood lips, and panel gaps so it disappears.
- 5. Cure48–72 hour cure in our climate-controlled bay before the vehicle hits the road.

Paint Protection Film & Color Wraps — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does PPF cost in Heber City?
Tiers range from a basic "rock-chip pack" (front bumper, partial hood, mirrors, headlights) at the low end to a full-vehicle wrap at the high end. Vehicle complexity drives the difference.
How long does PPF last?
High-quality PPF is warrantied 7–10 years against yellowing, lifting, and discoloration. Real-world life on a Wasatch Back car is usually 8+ years.
Will PPF damage my paint?
No — when installed and removed correctly. PPF protects the paint underneath and peels cleanly with proper heat-removal years later.
Can I put ceramic over PPF?
Yes — most luxury owners do exactly that. Ceramic over PPF adds hydrophobic shedding.
Vinyl wrap vs paint?
Wrap is reversible, protects factory paint, costs a fraction of a respray, lets you change color every few seasons. Paint only wins when factory paint is shot.
How long does a vinyl wrap installation take?
Partial wrap: same-day. Full vehicle color change: 5–7 working days.
Stop rock chips before they reach your paint
Self-healing PPF on the front clip costs a fraction of repainting one panel. Quote at booking.
