• Wanting to redo and do it properly?

Check out this real client case study below!

Not all Paint Protection Film installations are created equal.

We’ve seen vehicles come in with:

• Misaligned film

• Lifting edges

• Visible seams

• Contamination trapped underneath

• And in worst cases — paint damage from improper cutting

If your vehicle was not done right the first time, we specialize in complete PPF correction and restoration.

This Porsche Cayman came to us after a dealership-installed PPF and ceramic coating package did not meet expectations.

What happened:

• Client expected full front end PPF + coating

• Received partial front end PPF

• Paid significantly more than market rate

• Installation quality issues across multiple panels

Issues we identified:

• Poor alignment and uneven edges

• Film lifting and overhang

• Improper trimming that resulted in paint cut marks

• Ceramic coating high spots and uneven finish

⚠️ When PPF Goes Wrong

Poor installation doesn’t just look bad — it creates real problems:

• ❌ Permanent paint damage

• ❌ Film failure and peeling

• ❌ Reduced resale value

• ❌ Additional cost to redo everything

In this case, the damage required full repaint work before protection could even be reapplied.

We don’t patch problems — we fix them properly.

Step 1: Full Removal

All existing PPF is safely removed to assess the paint condition.

Step 2: Paint Restoration

If required, we coordinate repaint or correction to restore the surface.

Step 3: Paint Cure (Gas Out)

We allow proper curing time before reapplying protection.

Step 4: Full Body PPF Installation

• Precision alignment

• Clean edge tucking

• Seam minimization

• Proper panel coverage

Step 5: Ceramic Coating System

We apply coating on top of PPF for:

• Hydrophobic performance

• Enhanced gloss

• Easier maintenance

Because the original installation was not done properly:

• Project timeline extended to ~3 months

• Required repaint + reinstallation

• Significant additional cost despite partial reimbursement

If done correctly from the start:

• ✔ Completed in ~5 days

• ✔ No repaint required

• ✔ Thousands saved
