How Much Does PPF Actually Cost?
If you've recently bought a high-end or luxury car, protecting its paintwork is likely high on your list. After all, nothing takes the shine off a new car faster than stone chips, scratches or swirl marks. That's where Paint Protection Film (PPF) comes in. But how much does it actually cost to get PPF done properly-and is it worth it?
Firstly, What Is Paint Protection Film?
Paint Protection Film is a virtually invisible layer of polyurethane applied to your vehicle's painted surfaces. It acts as a barrier against road debris, bird droppings, tree sap, minor abrasions, and harsh weather. It's especially popular among owners of new or high-value vehicles who want to maintain that factory-fresh finish for as long as possible.
Typical PPF Costs in the North of England
- Front End Coverage (bonnet, bumper, wings, mirrors): £900 - £1,500
- Track Pack (front end + sills and lower doors): £1,500 - £2,200
- Full Vehicle Coverage: £3,500 - £6,000+
These are average figures. The exact cost depends on your car's size, bodywork complexity, and the film brand used (at Lucid, we use premium films like Suntek Reaction).
What Affects the Price?
- Vehicle Size and Shape: Larger panels or aggressive curves (Ferrari 488 vs Range Rover SVR) mean more time and material.
- Coverage Level: Full-body is more expensive but offers total peace of mind for long-term owners.
- Film Quality: Top-tier films feature self-healing, clarity, and long warranties.
- Installation Quality: The skill of the installer matters. At Lucid, every job is custom-patterned, precision cut, and edge-wrapped for a seamless look.
Is PPF Worth the Money?
If you've spent upwards of £60,000 on a car, spending £2,000-£4,000 to protect it makes sense. PPF can save you thousands in resprays, reduce lease return penalties, and help preserve resale value. For many owners, it's less of a cost and more of an investment in peace of mind.
Common Alternatives-and Why PPF Wins
Some car owners consider ceramic coatings. While coatings add gloss and chemical resistance, they don't protect against stone chips or physical damage. PPF and coatings can work together, but for impact protection, PPF is unmatched.
Final Thoughts
The real cost of Paint Protection Film depends on what you drive, how much of it you want to protect, and who you trust to do the job.
