“How much does paint protection film cost?” It’s the first question most clients ask — and the honest answer is: it depends. The price of a paint protection film (PPF) install varies with coverage, the vehicle and the film type. Here’s what drives the price, so you know what to expect before requesting your quote.
What drives the price of PPF
Four main factors determine the cost of a paint protection film install:
- Coverage — protecting just the front costs less than wrapping the whole body. This is the number-one factor.
- Vehicle model and size — a subcompact takes less film and time than an SUV or truck.
- Film type — a premium self-healing XPEL film, or a satin/matte finish, sits above a standard gloss film.
- Complexity — sculpted bumpers, sharp curves and multiple cut lines take more work.
Common coverage packages
At Automask, we match the coverage to your budget:
- Partial front — front bumper, a third of the hood and fenders, mirrors. The essential protection against road chips, at the most accessible price.
- Full front — full hood, fenders and bumper, headlights. No visible cut line at the front.
- Full body — the entire body, for maximum protection. The most complete package.

PPF: an expense or an investment?
Paint protection film takes the chips and micro-scratches instead of your paint. On a new or prestige vehicle, that helps preserve its look and resale value — the original paint stays protected under the film. That’s why many owners see PPF as an investment rather than just an expense.
PPF or ceramic coating, price-wise?
A ceramic coating generally costs less than PPF, but it doesn’t protect against impacts — it makes upkeep easier and boosts gloss. The two meet different needs and combine well. To understand which to choose, read our article Paint Protection Film or Ceramic Coating.
