Why PPF Instead Of Vinyl

It Looks Like A Wrap.
It Works Like Armor.

A vinyl wrap changes the color and that is about it. Color change PPF is the same thick, self healing film we use for clear paint protection, made in color. It changes the look of the car and protects the paint underneath at the same time. Protection you can see, in your favorite color choice!

Where do I even begin?! I am OBSESSED!!! Brandon and his team at Golden State Auto Salon absolutely crushed it!! I brought in my smoke grey Porsche Taycan Turismo because I just wasn't loving the stock color, and WOW... they completely transformed it into a sleek, head-turning masterpiece.

Color change questions

Things People Ask Before They Book

Anything else, text us a photo of the car and the color you have in mind. A real person answers.

Is this a vinyl wrap?+

No. It is paint protection film made in color. It is roughly twice as thick as vinyl, self heals light scratches, and protects the paint from rock chips the way clear PPF does. It changes the color and protects the car at the same time.

Can I go back to the factory color?+

Yes. The film peels off clean and the original paint underneath has been protected the whole time. That is a big reason people choose color PPF over vinyl or a respray, especially on a lease or a car they plan to sell.

How long does it last?+

Years longer than vinyl, and it carries a manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking and peeling. Wash it like a normal car and skip the wax, and it keeps looking new.

Does it look wrapped or painted?+

Painted. Handles, lights and trim come off so the edges tuck behind them, and every panel edge is wrapped. No visible seams on the main panels, no relief cuts in the paint.

Can I see the colors in person?+

Yes, and you should. Colors look different on a screen than they do on a car in the sun. Stop by the shop and we will put the swatches on your car.

How long is the car in the shop?+

A full color change is usually 7 to 10 days. Every panel is prepped, wrapped and edge tucked by hand, and we do not rush it. We confirm the timing when we quote your car.

How much does it cost?+

Every car is quoted individually based on size, the color and finish you pick, and how much disassembly it needs. Send the year, make and model and the color you are thinking of, and you will have an out-the-door number within 30 minutes during business hours.
