The cost of PPF depends on how much of the car you cover, the finish you choose, the size and shape of your car, and the condition of its paint. Every car is different, so Polyshield installers quote each job individually rather than listing one price.
The four things that set the price
- Coverage. The biggest factor. A front-end package uses far less film and labour than a full car.
- Finish. Clear gloss is the standard. Satin and coloured films change the look of the car and are quoted separately.
- Your vehicle. Larger cars use more film. Complex shapes, vents, sensors and sharp body lines take more time to wrap cleanly.
- Paint condition. Film should go onto clean, sound paint. Swirls or contamination may need correcting first, which adds time.
Why installers don't list a single price
A proper install takes 2 to 9 days, depending on the package and the car. Edges are wrapped by hand and every panel is prepped first. Two cars with the same package can take very different amounts of work, so a quote based on your actual car is the fair way to price it.
Ways to manage the cost
- Start with a front-end package and add more later.
- Fit a DIY Side Protection kit yourself, or have an installer fit one for the longer 10-year warranty. See DIY PPF vs professional installation.
- Protect the car while the paint is new, before any correction is needed.
