It ranks as the most advanced paint protection film on the market, dedicated to preserving your vehicle’s integrity for years.

For colored PPF we recommend PURE PPF or UPPF, ask about our color selection.
STEK covers their paint protection film with a 10-year warranty, safeguarding against cracking, staining, yellowing, bubbling, and delamination. Proper maintenance can extend your clear bra’s longevity. Avoid pressure-washing your vehicle for 24 hours after installation.

Yes, you can still get Paint Protection Film (PPF) even if your vehicle has been repainted. However, there are a few considerations:
- Quality of Repaint: If your car has undergone a high-quality repaint job, it’s generally safe to apply PPF over the new paint. A professionally done repaint job should be smooth, without any imperfections.
- Paint Curing Time: New paint typically takes some time to fully cure. You should allow the new paint to cure completely before applying PPF, usually a minimum of 30 days. Your painter should be able to provide guidance on the specific curing time for the type of paint used.
- Surface Preparation: Before applying PPF, the vehicle’s surface should be properly prepared. This involves thorough cleaning and ensuring that there are no contaminants or residues on the paint.
- Quality Installation: It’s crucial to have PPF applied by professionals who are experienced in working with repainted vehicles. They should be transparent about the risks and defects when working with repainted vehicles. Removal Considerations: Keep in mind that when you eventually remove the PPF, there is a risk of paint damage, especially if the repaint job was not of high quality. But a professional installer can minimize this risk.
If you’re considering PPF for your repainted vehicle, it’s a good idea to consult with a reputable PPF installation service. They can assess the condition of your paint and provide guidance on whether PPF is a suitable option and what precautions should be taken during the application process. Always choose a high-quality PPF product and professional installation for the best results.
