Common questions

How much will it cost?

It depends on the car, how much of it you want covered and the film you choose. For branding, it depends on the project. You'll get a fixed price in writing, and it includes GST. Nothing is booked until you confirm it.

Is paint protection film worth it?

It usually is if you're keeping the car for a while or do a lot of freeway driving. Stone chips add up over the years, and the film takes them instead of your paint. If you're selling the car soon, just doing the front might make more sense.

Should I do the front or the whole car?

Most stone chips hit the front, so the front end package covers the bonnet, front bumper, front guards, mirrors and headlights. A full car adds the sills, doors and rear guards, which your own tyres flick stones at, and leaves no line where the film stops. Tell us how you use the car when we call and we'll suggest what fits.

Will film or a wrap damage my paint?

Not on healthy factory paint. Quality film and wraps are made to come off cleanly with a bit of heat, and the paint underneath is left as it was. Resprayed or touched-up panels are the exception, because that paint can lift, so let us know about any repairs before we start.

Do you do branding for businesses?

Yes. We do car liveries, event spaces and shop fit-outs for brands, and we handle the design, the graphics and the install. See our branding work.

How long does it last?

Our XPEL film comes with a 10 year film warranty, and it lasts longest on a car that's garaged and hand washed. A colour change wrap doesn't last as long as film. Sun is what ages vinyl most, so a wrap on a car kept under cover looks good for longer.

Should I wrap my car or respray it?

A wrap isn't permanent. Your original paint stays underneath, and the wrap can come off later if you want the factory colour back. Before any film is cut, we show you the new colour in 3D on your own car.

Can I see the design before you start?

Yes. Colour changes, liveries and graphics are rendered in 3D on your actual car, so you can change colour, finish and layout before any film is ordered.

How long will my car be with you?

It depends on the car and the job. Ask us when we call and we'll tell you how long to plan for.

What warranty comes with it?

The XPEL film we fit comes with a 10 year XPEL film warranty. On top of that, we stand behind our work: if something isn't right with the install, we fix it. For a wrap, ask us what comes with the film you choose.

How do I look after it?

Don't wash it for the first 7 days, so the film can settle. After that, hand wash it with a pH neutral car shampoo and a soft mitt. Skip brush car washes, and keep a pressure washer back from the edges of the film.

What happens after I send my details?

We give you a call to talk through the car or project. Then we text you a fixed price with up to 3 days to choose from. Tap the day that suits you and you're booked in.
