Did you know that Paint Protection Film comes in colors?
Whether you’re driving a brand-new Tesla or a classic luxury cruiser, the Bay Area roads aren’t always kind to your paint. Between the gravel on 101 and the unpredictable weather, your car’s finish is constantly under siege.
If you’re looking for a way to completely transform your vehicle’s look while adding a “bulletproof” layer of protection, Color Paint Protection Film (PPF) is the ultimate solution. And in the South Bay, Graphix Lab in South San Francisco has become the go-to destination for this elite service.
What Exactly is Color PPF?
For years, car enthusiasts had to choose: do I want a Vinyl Wrap for a new color, or Clear PPF for protection?
Color PPF (like the premium STEK or XPEL films used at Graphix Lab) eliminates that compromise. It is a thick, high-grade polyurethane film that is infused with deep, rich pigments. It provides the heavy-duty rock chip protection of traditional PPF with the stunning, head-turning aesthetics of a custom paint job.
Why Choose Color PPF Over Vinyl?
- Self-Healing: Minor scratches and swirl marks disappear with a little heat from the sun.
- Thickness: At roughly 8 mils thick, it’s more than twice as durable as standard vinyl.
- Longevity: While vinyl usually lasts 3–5 years, Color PPF is rated for 7–10 years.
- Better Finish: This option gives you a mirror-like, factory-paint finish.
The Verdict: Is It Worth It?
If you plan on keeping your car for more than a few years, Color PPF is the smartest investment you can make. It preserves your original factory paint (protecting your resale value) while allowing you to drive a car that looks exactly how you want it.
