What Is Paint Protection Film?
Paint protection film is a lightweight urethane layer applied over your vehicle’s painted surfaces. The film is virtually invisible once installed, and it acts as a shield against rock chips, bugs, hard water, bird droppings, chemical stains, and UV rays.
It works as a sacrificial layer. When a pebble kicks up off the highway, the film absorbs the impact instead of your paint. The chip that would have damaged your clear coat get absorbed by the film.
The technology is older than most people realize. It goes back to the Vietnam War, when 3M developed a film to protect military helicopter rotor blades from debris damage. The same principle protects your hood today.
New Paint Does Not Stay New on Its Own
Utah roads are hard on vehicles. Gravel, winter road treatment, canyon runs, and long highway miles all leave their mark, and modern factory paint is thinner and softer than it used to be. Chips show up fast.
The best time to install film is before the first chip, when the vehicle is new.
- Rock chips and road debris stop at the film, not your paint.
- Resale value holds because the paint underneath stays original.
- Washing is easier and the finish stays sharp for years.
- Bugs, tar, bird droppings, and hard water cannot etch what they cannot reach.
Choose Your Coverage
Three packages, each available in gloss or matte. We will walk you through what makes sense for your vehicle, how you drive, and how long you plan to keep it.
Essential Coverage
Full Front PPF
The front end takes the punishment. Every rock, bug, and piece of gravel hits the same panels, and they are the ones people look at first. Full Front covers all of them, edge to edge, with no cut line across your hood. It is what we recommend for most new vehicles.
What Is Covered
- Front bumper
- Full hood
- Full fenders
- Headlamps
- Side mirrors
Most Popular
Drivers Package PPF
A middle tier built for how most people actually drive. It extends past the Full Front to cover the high-impact areas that take the most road spray and stone chips on the highway, without going full body. The sweet spot for daily drivers and road-trip cars.
What Is Covered
Covers everything the full front does, plus:
- A pillars
- Partial roof
- Lower rockers
- Behind the rear wheel
- Rear splash
Maximum Coverage
Full Body PPF
Every painted panel, protected. Nothing left exposed. The whole vehicle ages as one, with no mismatched wear between covered and uncovered areas. The right call for exotics, dark paint, and anything you plan to keep for the long haul.
What Is Covered
- Every painted panel on the vehicle
- Front and rear bumpers
- Full hood, fenders, and roof
- Doors, rockers, and quarter panels
- Trunk and trunk ledge
- Side mirrors and headlamps
10-Year
Self-Heal
Swirls vanish with heat
Gloss or Matte?
Same self-healing protection. Two very different finishes.
Gloss
Matte
Gloss Film
The invisible option. It carries your paint color straight through and reads as factory finish. If you want protection without changing a single thing about how the car looks, this is it.
Matte Film
A finish and a shield in one. It takes a glossy car to satin, or protects factory matte paint without changing it. Same toughness, same self-healing topcoat.
Not sure which suits your vehicle? Bring it by and we will show you both.

What the Film Actually Does
Self-Healing Topcoat
Light scratches and swirl marks disappear with heat. Park it in the sun or run warm water over the panel and the film re-levels itself.
Damage Prevention
Film blocks hard objects and debris from reaching your paint, saving you from nicks, chips, stains, and scratches.
Non-Yellowing
The film stays clear. It will not yellow from UV exposure, or from the solvents in bird droppings, gas, and oil.
Edge Seal Technology
Most film peels at the edges over time. Ours is sealed tight to the paint with our signature edge seal technology, so nothing gets underneath.
Stain Resistance
Hard water spots, mineral deposits, and acidic contaminants stop being a problem.
10-Year Warranty
Our film is backed by a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty.
CoaticLab Process, Start to Finish
Every vehicle starts with a wash and decontamination, then paint refinement, trim removal, and a hand-applied install. Our process is never rushed. It is done right.
01
Decontaminate
A full wash and decontamination strips everything off the surface.
02
PAINT CORRECTION
Orbital polishing removes swirls, scratches, and haze. Film over damaged paint only magnifies it, so we correct first.
03
Cut and Install
Film is precisely cut, then hand-applied panel by panel with edges wrapped and tucked out of sight.
04
Cure and Inspect
The vehicle will sit so that edges will set properly, then we inspect every panel before it leaves.
The Full Trifecta
You are protecting your paint with film. The trifecta adds the two layers that finish the job, a ceramic coating for gloss and easy cleaning, and ceramic tint for a cooler cabin.
01Paint Protection Film
The layer you are here for, explained in full above.
02 Ceramic coating
A hydrophobic nano-ceramic layer over the film and exposed paint. It locks in gloss, repels water and contaminants, and makes washing effortless.
03 Ceramic Window Tint
Blocks heat and UV without cutting visibility, keeping your cabin cooler and your interior protected on every drive.

Had these guys replace the side panel of my PPF that had a few door dings from over the years. The result looks great and left my car looking brand new! Quick turnaround and they were even nice enough to still keep my appointment after I technically mixed up the dates and showed up an hour late. Great communication during the process as well. Would highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

We needed our truck’s windows tinted and Blake and the Coatic Lab crew did a phenomenal job. The quality is unmatched, haven’t had a single issue, and we look forward to using them for all of our specialized detailing needs in the future with all of our vehicles! 10 out of 10 would recommend Coatic Lab!Posted on Google![]()

Wow!! I must say, I have never been happier with a business than I was with Coatic Lab! I had them do PPF and tint. From the get-go, they were extremely helpful in explaining things, they were friendly and got me in and out in the time they said they would! I had gone to several other places and had quotes but Coatic Lab by far gave me the best price!! If you want this done right this is your place!!! I don’t usually like to write reviews, but had no choice in this situation because of their service. They don’t just want your money, they want to send you out with a job well done C HoylePosted on Google![]()

"I couldn't be happier with the results! We chose the front PPF package, stage 2 ceramic coat, ceramic tint, and black vinyl on the roof and it looks absolutely amazing. Blake is truly the best when it comes to customer service—he is knowledgeable, professional, and always goes above and beyond to make sure you are completely taken care of. The quality of their work is outstanding, and their attention to detail is second to none. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my vehicles. Highly recommend this shop and their team!"Posted on Google![]()
