Paint protection film (PPF) is a clear thermoplastic urethane (TPU) film applied over painted vehicle surfaces to create a protective barrier. Its clear construction allows the factory paint color and finish to remain visible while the film provides a physical layer between the paint and everyday road exposure.

PPF helps protect covered surfaces from rock chips, road debris, scratches, and other common sources of exterior wear. Depending on the selected product, professional-grade PPF can also provide UV resistance, yellowing resistance, and self-healing performance that reduces the appearance of minor surface scratches and swirl marks.

Goode's Custom Garage offers PPF coverage from targeted front-end protection to full vehicle coverage. Available packages cover areas such as the hood, bumpers, fenders, mirrors, rocker panels, doors, A-pillars, roof, trunk, headlights, and taillights, with specific panel coverage determined by the selected package.

(03) — Process

How Our Paint Protection Film Process Works

  1. 01

    Wash and Decontaminate

    Paint protection film starts with a thorough wash and surface decontamination to remove road film, dirt, and bonded contaminants from the panels receiving film.

  2. 02

    Inspect and Prepare the Paint

    Paint protection film installation requires clean, properly prepared paint, so Goode's inspects each panel for chips, swirls, and existing defects before installation.

  3. 03

    Apply the PPF

    Paint protection film is positioned and applied to the selected coverage areas, following the vehicle's panel contours for accurate alignment and consistent coverage.

  4. 04

    Finish and Inspect

    Goode's finishes the PPF installation with tucked edges and a final inspection to check alignment, adhesion, edges, and the overall appearance of the covered panels.

(05) — Film & Finish

Choosing a PPF Film and Finish

Goode's Custom Garage offers PPF in gloss, satin, and selected custom color finishes, with film selection based on the vehicle's existing finish, desired appearance, coverage requirements, and available product options.

PLACEHOLDER — GLOSS PPF finish

Gloss PPF

Gloss PPF provides a clear, high-gloss appearance that maintains the traditional look of painted bodywork while adding a protective film layer.

PLACEHOLDER — SATIN PPF finish

Satin PPF

Satin PPF provides a lower-gloss appearance for vehicles where a more muted finish is preferred while maintaining PPF protection.

PLACEHOLDER — CUSTOM COLOR PPF

Custom Color PPF

Selected custom color PPF options combine paint protection with exterior customization, allowing the vehicle's appearance to change while adding a protective film layer.

Film selection also depends on self-healing properties, warranty terms, coverage availability, and vehicle compatibility. Goode's can discuss available film and finish options based on the vehicle and selected coverage package.

Paint protection film lifespan depends on the film selected, and each film carries its own manufacturer warranty terms, which Goode's confirms with your quote. Actual film life can also vary based on product selection, installation conditions, vehicle storage, driving exposure, and maintenance. Film-safe washing and avoiding abrasive tools or harsh chemicals can help preserve the film's appearance and top-coat performance throughout its service life.

Paint protection film can be installed on used vehicles after appropriate paint correction and surface preparation. Existing chips, swirls, and other defects remain underneath the film if they are not addressed beforehand. Goode's inspects the paint before installation and can prepare used vehicles so the PPF is applied over a clean, properly prepared surface.

As an Authorized STEK Installer, Goode's Custom Garage installs STEK paint protection film along with other professional-grade PPF options. Available finishes include gloss and satin, with custom color options available on selected packages. Film selection depends on the desired appearance, coverage, and product availability. Every package is installed with tucked edges and includes the applicable manufacturer warranty.

Paint protection film and ceramic coating protect against different types of exposure. PPF provides physical protection against rock chips and road debris, while ceramic coating adds chemical resistance and hydrophobic properties. Goode's offers ceramic coating with the New Vehicle Protection Package and a $200 ceramic coating add-on for Partial Front PPF after installation.

After PPF installation, the film should be allowed to cure according to the manufacturer's specified requirements. During this period, washing, pressure washing, and other activities may be restricted to allow proper adhesion and edge setting. Goode's provides post-installation care instructions based on the selected film, including guidance on washing, drying, and ongoing maintenance.
