What PPF protects against

Paint Protection Film or PPF is a virtually invisible urethane film that is installed on vehicles to protect vehicle paint from damage and degradation. It also helps to maximize resale value with self-healing, and chemical and stain-resistant features.

Each piece of film is precision-cut to fit your vehicle perfectly with the help of our design access program and plotter. In places where pieces can be folded over for added protection and invisibility, it is folded.

Once installed, it acts as an added layer of protection to your vehicle’s paint, preventing damage from everyday irritants like road debris, and unwanted impact.

Is it worth it to get PPF for my car?

Yes, it is. If you’re looking for ways to maintain your vehicle’s appearance, Paint Protection Film – PPF protects your vehicle’s paint from damage and premature aging.

Not only does paint protection film act as a barrier to rocks and scratches, but it is also a barrier to everyday nuisances like bird droppings, tree sap, UV rays, and acid rain, among other things.

You can’t control the environment surrounding your car, but you can control how your car handles the environment.

Matte finish PPF

Matte Finish PPF gives you the flexibility to instantly transform your gloss paint job to a deep, rich, matte finish at a fraction of the cost of a new matte paint job. Can be installed on the car’s paint and carbon fiber parts.

Matte PPF uses an adhesive system designed for film installation and long-term serviceability.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does PPF cost in Vancouver?

PPF in Vancouver usually ranges from about $1,200 for targeted coverage to $6,000+ for full-body protection. Most full-front packages land between $1,800 and $2,800 depending on vehicle size and edge complexity. Elements Labs maps coverage to driving pattern, panel risk, and ownership goals.

How long does PPF last?

Quality PPF can last many years when installed and maintained correctly. Eligible PPF packages may carry up to 12 years of manufacturer-backed warranty coverage. Elements Labs provides aftercare guidance at delivery.

Is PPF worth it on a Tesla, Porsche, or Range Rover?

Yes, PPF is usually worth it on higher-value vehicles where repainting front panels is expensive and visible. A bumper and hood repaint can cost thousands of dollars on premium finishes. Elements Labs regularly protects Tesla, Porsche, and Range Rover vehicles around Vancouver.

What is the difference between PPF and ceramic coating?

PPF is for physical impact protection, while ceramic coating is for gloss, hydrophobic behavior, and easier cleaning. PPF uses a thicker film layer; ceramic coating is a thin chemical coating. Elements Labs often combines both so impact zones get film and exposed surfaces stay easier to maintain.

Can ceramic coating be applied over PPF?

Yes, ceramic coating can be applied over PPF to improve hydrophobic performance and make washing easier. The coating does not replace film for impact protection. Elements Labs commonly uses this stack when the owner wants both rock-chip resistance and easier maintenance.

Which PPF is best?

KAVAKA is our brand of choice. We have worked with many brands and test new products as they come on the market, but KAVAKA still beats out the rest in our eyes. KAVAKA film installers can get exclusive access to a Design Access Program which archives every vehicle’s exact schematics for perfect fitment each time.

Can PPF be waxed?

PPF can be waxed, however, make sure the product being used does not contain Naphtha or Kerosene in concentrations over 5% and that the wax does not contain dyes. We recommend to talk with one of our advisors to choose the right product to enhance your PPF as it was designed and will not stain, discolour, or damage the film.

Will PPF yellow over time?

KAVAKA has a manufacturer warranty of up to 12 years that covers a range of issues, including yellowing of the film.
