For Your Shop

The Business Case

Switching from vinyl to color PPF isn’t just better for the customer. It’s better for your bottom line.

01

Higher Ticket Price

PPF commands premium pricing. A color PPF full body wrap is a higher-margin job than a vinyl wrap every time.

02

Fewer Callbacks

8-year warranty with self-healing surface. Customers don't call you about scratches, the film handles it.

03

One Product, One Conversation

Color PPF eliminates the "vinyl or PPF?" conversation. Your customer gets color AND protection in one step.

04

Premium Clientele

Protection-first shops attract higher-end customers. Porsche, Tesla, Mercedes owners want PPF, not vinyl.
