PPF cost guide

What does PPF cost on Long Island?

It comes down to four things: coverage, the vehicle, the film and the prep. Below are our starting prices and a few ways to stretch your budget.

Our packages start at $599. Send your year, make and model and we'll quote you an exact price, usually the same day.

The four things that set the price

1. How much of the car you cover

Coverage is the biggest factor. Most customers choose one of three packages.

  • Full Front covers the bumper, full hood, full fenders, mirrors and headlights. Those panels take almost all the rock chips, so most people start here.
  • Track adds the rocker panels and lower doors to Full Front. That's where debris kicked up by the front tires sandblasts the paint.
  • Full Vehicle covers every painted surface. We do a lot of these on new performance cars, Teslas and anything with soft paint.

The coverage picker on our PPF page shows which panels each package includes.

2. The vehicle

Bigger panels use more film. A bumper full of vents, sensors and sharp creases takes longer to wrap cleanly. Compare a compact sedan with a full-size SUV and you're looking at two very different jobs.

3. The film

XPEL Ultimate Plus is the standard gloss film. It self-heals and carries a 10-year warranty. XPEL Stealth turns gloss paint satin and costs a little more. XPEL COLOR changes the colour of the car and protects the paint at the same time.

4. Paint condition and prep

Film seals in whatever is underneath it, so swirls and chips should be fixed first. A new car needs very little prep. An older car may need paint correction, which adds to the price and is what makes the finished job look right.

Is PPF worth the money?

After a few years of highway chips, repainting a front bumper and hood can easily cost more than a Full Front package, and repainted panels can hurt resale. Film keeps the factory paint factory-perfect, and it comes off clean when you sell.

Ways to get more for your budget

  • Start with Full Front and add the rockers later if you want them.
  • Bundle PPF with ceramic coating and tint in one visit.
  • Book as soon as you take delivery, before there are chips to fix.

Questions we hear a lot

How much is PPF on Long Island?
At Nash Film Solutions, PPF packages start at $599, and Full Front is the most popular. We quote Track and Full Vehicle per car, because size and complexity vary so much from one to the next.
Why is full-car PPF so much more than a front end?
A full car takes several times the film and labour. Every door, quarter panel, the roof and the trunk get trimmed and wrapped by hand, and the install usually runs more than one day.
Is cheap PPF worth it?
Be careful with it. A low price usually means off-brand film that yellows, or bulk-cut kits that leave the edges exposed. XPEL backs its film for 10 years, and the quality of the install decides how invisible it looks.
