Paint Protection Film

What is Paint Protection Film

Paint Protection Film is a transparent polyurethane film that is fitted over the paintwork and absorbs damage before it reaches the paint. The film is around 200 microns thick, roughly twice the thickness of the factory paint. Stone chips, scratches from bags or hedges, insects and bird droppings strike the film, not the paint. The self-healing top layer lets light scratches disappear as soon as the film warms up, in the sun or with warm water.

We fit only high-quality PPF systems with a clear top layer that does not yellow. Once fitted, the film is invisible. Only those who know where the edge sits will find it.

How PPF fitting works at GT Exclusive

The five steps above form the fixed route: inspection, preparation, digital cutting, fitting and curing. Two choices determine the result. First, the preparation: PPF locks in the paint exactly as it is, so swirls and delivery marks are removed first with paint correction. Second, the edge finishing: wherever the model allows, the film is wrapped around the panel edge so that no visible seam remains.

Who it is for

PPF is the answer for owners who drive their car. A Porsche 911 GT3 that laps Zandvoort, a Ferrari that crosses the Veluwe on a Saturday, a BMW M3 that sees the motorway every day. The same applies to Audi RS, Aston Martin and Bentley: the original factory paint cannot be replaced, and it is precisely that paint that determines the residual value.

The best moment is immediately after delivery, before the first stone chip lands. On an older car we combine PPF with paint correction, so the film locks in flawless paint.

What does PPF cost?

PPF Impact Protection for door cups, sills and loading edge starts from € 149 incl. VAT. PPF Front Bumper costs from € 749. PPF Full Front, with bumper, bonnet, front wings and mirror caps, is the most popular package from € 1,995. PPF Track Package from € 2,795 extends the Full Front with the zones that suffer most on track. PPF Full Body from € 4,995 covers the complete car. Matte / Satin Full Body PPF from € 5,995 gives gloss paint a satin appearance, or protects an original matte finish that cannot be polished.

All amounts are indicative consumer prices incl. VAT. The final price depends on the vehicle, its condition, material choice and the desired finish. The complete overview is at all starting prices.

Many owners combine a Full Front with ceramic coating over the rest of the car, and with alloy wheel repair plus ceramic wheel coating. That way the zones under the heaviest load are protected in a single project.

Warranty on PPF

The warranty consists of two separate parts. The material warranty comes from the manufacturer of the film system: up to 10 years on high-quality PPF systems against yellowing, cracking, bubbling and delamination*. This warranty applies with correct registration, maintenance according to the conditions and any periodic inspections.

The installation warranty comes from GT Exclusive: a 2-year GT Exclusive Installation Warranty on the fitting of suitable PPF systems. Lifting edges, inclusions or fitting errors are repaired free of charge. The full conditions are on the page about 10 years warranty on PPF.

*The manufacturer’s warranty always depends on the chosen film system, correct registration, maintenance conditions and any periodic inspections.
