Vehicle Wraps & Color PPF
Restyle the car. Protect the paint. Two films, one studio.
Same studio. Two films. Honest recommendation on which is right for your car.
We install two color-change films under one climate-controlled roof. LuxeGuard Color PPF is our flagship — the only film that both changes your color AND absorbs rock chips, heals swirl marks, beads water off like a coated surface, and carries an 8-year manufacturer warranty. Same 8-mil self-healing urethane chassis as our clear PPF, in 200+ satin, matte, and gloss color-change finishes — a larger color catalog than any vinyl line on the market. It's the film we recommend on every newer vehicle where the paint is worth protecting. 3M 2080 is our go-to cast vinyl when the use case calls for it — a 3.5-mil decorative film carrying specialty finishes LuxeGuard Color PPF doesn't manufacture (real carbon fiber weave, chrome mirror, brushed metal, color-shift flip) plus 100+ standard catalog colors. It wraps cleanly, reverses cleanly, and gives you a restyle at a fraction of a repaint — the right pick for lease returns, fleet rebrands, and any install where a specialty finish is the point. Every install — PPF or vinyl — is bulk-cut on the vehicle for full edge wrap (zero original color peeking through at seams), installed dust-free in our climate-controlled bay by the same hands that do our clear PPF work.

Two films. Two jobs.
We install both 3M 2080 color-change vinyl and LuxeGuard Color PPF — which one is right for your vehicle depends on how long you're keeping it, how hard you drive it, and whether chip protection matters. Here's the honest side-by-side.

If you drive a newer vehicle and want to both restyle the car and protect the paint in one film, LuxeGuard Color PPF is the only option that does both. It carries the same 8-mil self-healing urethane chassis as our clear PPF, so the film that changes your color also stops rock chips, heals swirl marks, and beads water off like a coated surface. If you're wrapping a daily driver for a restyle without needing chip protection, or you want a specialty finish (chrome, carbon, color-shift) that PPF doesn't offer, 3M 2080 is the right call — every time.

Common questions.
Depends on the vehicle and the use case. LuxeGuard Color PPF is the right call on newer vehicles (under ~5 years old) where the factory paint is worth protecting — you get the restyle AND rock-chip protection, self-healing swirl recovery, hydrophobic beading, and an 8-year warranty in one film. 3M 2080 vinyl is the right call when you want a specialty finish that PPF doesn't offer (chrome, carbon fiber, brushed metal, color-shift), when you're restyling a daily driver or fleet vehicle and don't need chip protection, or when budget is the primary driver — vinyl runs about half the cost of color PPF at the full-body tier. We'll walk through both at the in-person consult and give you our honest take for your specific car.
