What it is

Invisible armor for the panels that take the abuse

Paint protection film, often called clear bra, is a tough urethane layer applied over your paint. It absorbs rock chips, road rash, and bug acid, and the film self-heals light swirls with heat from the sun or warm water. On I-70, US-36, and the canyon roads, gravel and mag chloride chew through front-end paint fast. Film is the highest-value protection you can put on a Colorado daily driver because it stops damage instead of just resisting it.

“Eric did a fantastic job on our car! We had front bumper paint protection film, ceramic coating windshield protector and the most amazing ceramic coating on the entire car. The car is a Radiant Red and the coating makes it look amazing! It shines, it glows, it’s beautiful! Would highly recommend! Thanks Eric!!”

“We’ll be taking all our cars here. Eric and his team just did the 3M protective film on our new Tundra. The front bumper and grill are not simple applications, Eric made sure to talk us through what to look for if any of the film isn’t holding and to bring it back in and he’d fix it for us. He also tinted the front windows and they’re a perfect match to the rest. Their prices are very competitive, but it’s the absolutely top notch customer service, communication, and workmanship that make it an easy decision to come back. We’ll be getting our tonneau cover for our truck bed, ceramic coating for our older with a lot of life in her SUV, and will start using them to detail our cars given our great experience and the fact that everyone else continues to have the same.”

What to expect

How it works

1 · Panel prep & deconWe wash and decontaminate every panel that will be filmed, because the film bonds to clean paint and any trapped grit shows.

2 · Pattern & cutWe use precision patterns cut for your exact vehicle, so the film follows body lines cleanly with no guesswork on the paint.

3 · Install & wrap edgesWe hand-fit each panel and wrap the film around the edges where we can, so there is no obvious line and nothing for debris to catch.

4 · Cure & inspectionThe film cures, then we inspect every panel in good light and hand back a front end that looks untouched.

We install Autobahn self-healing paint protection film, backed by a manufacturer warranty that includes a one-time, no-questions-asked $500 replacement benefit if the film takes accidental damage, like catching a curb. Wrapped edges are standard where the panel allows, not an upcharge. Ask us for complete warranty details.

FAQ

Common questions

What does PPF protect against on Colorado roads?

Rock chips, sand, and road debris off the highway and canyon roads, plus bug acid and the mag chloride that gets kicked up in winter. It handles the physical impacts a ceramic coating cannot.

Partial front vs. full front: which coverage do I need?

If you mostly drive in town, partial front covers the common chip zones. If you spend real time on I-70, US-36, or the canyons, full front is worth it because it covers the whole hood and fenders with no film line to see. We will point you to the right one honestly.

Does the film really heal itself?

Light swirls and fine scratches in the film, yes. Warmth from the sun or warm water relaxes the top layer and they disappear. A deep gouge is still a deep gouge, but the film took it instead of your paint.
