We tell you the price after checking the paint, before the work. Payment cash or through a company ### What you get * Paint inspection and preparation * Film cut for your model * Gloss or matte film * Washing instructions ## How do we fit the film? We inspect the paint and tell you the price, then fit the film. 1. 1 ### You send the car details Send us the make, model and year and which part you want to protect. Tell us your city. 2. 2 ### We inspect the paint and tell you the price The work starts only when you agree. We tell you what the paint needs before the film and how much it all costs. The price depends on: * How much of the car we protect. * How big the car is and how many edges the parts have. * Gloss or matte film. * Whether the paint needs polishing before the film. 3. 3 ### We prepare the paint We wash the car and clean the paint completely. Where needed, we polish dull spots and fine scratches. Matte paint is not polished. 4. 4 ### We cut the film for your model A machine cuts the film to your model’s pattern before the film goes on the car. That way no knife touches the paint. 5. 5 ### We fit the film wet We work indoors without dust. We line up the film, then squeeze out the liquid and air. Where possible, we fold the edges under the rim of the panel and heat them. 6. 6 ### We check and hand over the car Under a light we check the edges and that there is no dust under the film. We tell you when you may wash the car. Step 5: film fitted wet, before the liquid is squeezed out ## What does the film protect against? ### Instead of the paint, the film takes * Stone chips * Fine scratches * Bird droppings and tree sap * Road salt * Sun, so the paint does not fade ### Important The film does not protect against dents. We fix dents without paint with [paintless dent repair](https://autoindustrija.rs/en/services/paintless-dent-repair). ### What if the film takes a scratch? Fine scratches on the film disappear by themselves, with warmth or sun. A deeper scratch can go through the film. Then we replace the film on that part. A scratch from a passer-by’s key usually does not reach the paint. ## Film or ceramic coating? A ceramic coating is a thin layer on the paint. It makes washing easier and keeps the shine, but it does not stop a stone. The film protects the paint from stones. We can also apply ceramic over the film, so the film is easier to wash. The other choice is film at the front and ceramic on the rest of the car. [More about the difference between film and ceramic](https://autoindustrija.rs/en/advice/ceramic-coating-vs-ppf) ## How do you wash a car with film? * When you may first wash the car, we tell you based on the film we fit. * Wash by hand or at a car wash without brushes. Brushes can damage the film. * Do not point a pressure washer at the film edges. From what distance you may wash, we tell you based on the film. * Remove bird droppings and insects as soon as you can. * Do not polish the film with paste. * After washing, look at the edges. If an edge has lifted, get in touch so we can look at it. Small bubbles after fitting mostly disappear within a few days to a few weeks. If a bubble stays, get in touch. ## Questions How much does paint protection film cost? It depends on how much of the car we protect, the size of the car and the film. We tell you the price after checking the paint, before the work. Send us the make, model and year. How long does the film last and does it go yellow? It usually lasts 5 to 10 years. It depends on the film, the fitting and the driving. Cheaper film can change colour over time. That is why we tell you before the work which film we fit. The paint has stone chips. Does the film remove them? No. Old chips stay, and the film protects against new ones. Gloss or matte film? Gloss film keeps the shine of the paint. Matte film gives glossy paint a matte look, and it also goes on matte paint. Both protect the paint from stones and scratches. Matte paint is not polished, so a scratch on it is hard to repair. That is why we protect matte paint with matte film. You do not wash matte film with brushes or wax it, so it does not turn glossy. Can you see the film? From a distance it is hardly noticeable. Up close you see the edge where parts meet and a thin line around sensors, handles and the badge. When the film covers only part of the bonnet, its edge sits on the bonnet and is visible up close. When it covers the whole bonnet, we tuck the edge under the rim where the shape allows. Then it is barely noticeable. Can the film be removed? Yes. We warm the film with steam and peel it slowly, at a low angle. If the part has been repainted after the factory, we look at it first. Does paint protection film go on headlights too? Send us the make, model and year. We check whether the film can go on your headlight. We agree on fitting only after that check. ## Which part of the car should we protect? Send us the make, model and year and which part you want to protect. We tell you the price after checking the paint, before the work.
