Paint Protection Film – Corvettes

Paint Protection Film

Paint Protection Film is designed to stop rock chips, love bugs, and any road debris from damaging the paint of the vehicle. Below are our most popular PPF options, based on the driver:

Daily drivers or weekend cars: For this type of driving, most of the customers go with a full frontal which includes full hood, full fenders, mirrors, bumper, lights, rockers and behind rear wheels. This gives perfect amount of protection and peace of mind while cruising down the highway or headed towards a car show.

Track Cars: For the Corvette that is going to hit the track we recommend little more protection. The most popular set up for a track car is full front, mirrors, lights, extended rockers, behind rear wheels, leading edge of roof and pillars. For the car that is going to see a lot of track time, we can upgrade the standard 8 mil PPF to a 10 mil PPF for added strength.

Maximum Protection: More and more customers are coming in for this option which is entire car protected with big tear off layers in high prone areas. Whether you are going to be a weekend warrior or full-time track use, this is the way to go.

Paint Protection Film Brands We Carry

Warranty

Most paint protection films come with a 5-10 year warranty. We typically recommend bringing the vehicle back in 4.5-5 years for an inspection of the film. Depending on use of car and how much sun exposure the film will have dictates on how long the film should stay on your car. If the car was driven hard and in the sun a lot we will recommend removing the film and replacing under warranty. If replacement is recommended, we will charge a removal fee, however the replacement will be covered under warranty.

Window Tint Options

We are currently stocking Suntek and 3M window films. We have most film shades which include 5%, 18%, 35%, 50%, 70%, 80% and 90%. 5% being Limo and 90% being a clear film. All legal shade films come with a lifetime warranty. Florida’s legal limit is 15% in the back half and 30% on the two front windows.

The most popular shade for Corvette owners is 30% sides and back using a high-end ceramic film. The 30% shade gives tons of heat rejection, able to show off interior and gives the car a classy look.

Ceramic Films – 51%+ TSER, 99% UV rejection – $300-$350.
Ceramic with IR Film – 60%+ TSER, 97% IR and 99% UV – $450-550.
Windshield in Clear only – $250.
TSER – (Total Solar Energy Rejected)
IR – (Infrared Rejection) Infrared light is primarily responsible for the heat you feel when driving.

Paint Correction – Ceramic Coatings

For the customer who is seeking perfect paint and high gloss with ease of maintenance, this process is for you. Even though your paint can be brand new, there are tons of blemishes left from the factory. We take the time to remove all swirls, sanding marks and other factory blemishes. This will bring out the depth in your paint. The next step is to use a ceramic coating which will give your paint more shine, higher gloss, and makes the paint hydrophobic and lastly will eliminate waxing up to 7 years.

The Corvette’s paint coming from the factory is usually decent in terms of swirl marks and sanding marks. We can however make the paint better with polishing. This polishing process however doesn’t fix the orange peel issue that Corvettes generally have. To smooth out the orange peel look, we have to wet-sand the panels which long term isn’t good. Otherwise polishing and then apply ceramic coating to the surfaces dramatically improves the look of the vehicle. This takes your Corvette to first place at the car show or just makes it easier for the dirt etc to wash off.

We carry multiple brands of ceramic coatings. Our favorite is Gtechniq Crystal Serum.

Light Polish with Crystal Serum – $1400.  Add EXO +$200
