Made for what you just paid for

Just picked up a new carGet it protected before the first stone chip, scuff or water mark lands on the factory paint.
New ute or 4WDHighway kilometres and gravel roads. The front end cops it, so give it something to take the hits.
Parked in the sunSalt air and Whitsundays sun are hard on paint. A coating keeps the gloss and makes it easy to wash.
Prestige and performance carsPaint this good deserves to stay that way. PPF on the high-impact areas and a ceramic coating over the rest keeps it looking like the day you picked it up.

Protect it now or pay to fix it later

Left unprotected
Protected from new
Stone chips
Chips go straight into the paint and need a touch up or respray.
The film takes the hit and the paint underneath stays untouched.
Scuffs and marks
Car park scuffs and water marks build up and dull the finish.
A coated surface resists marks and keeps its gloss for years.
Washing
Dirt and salt grip the paint, so every wash takes longer.
Dirt releases with a rinse and a soft wash.
The cost
Paint correction and resprays down the track cost more than protecting it would have.
One booking now, done properly the first time.
When you sell
Tired paint takes money off the price.
Better condition, better resale. The protection pays you back.

What finished looks like

What our customers say

★★★★★
The minute I rocked up and seen just the difference on the back of the car I instantly knew it was worth every cent. He went above and beyond to get it to the best finish he could. Looked like a completely different car, like it was nearly brand new. The whole finish was way beyond what I even thought was possible. Incredible job.

Common questions

PPF or ceramic coating, which one do I need?

They do different jobs. PPF is a physical clear film that absorbs stone chips and scratches, so it goes where the car gets hit. Ceramic coating is a hard, glossy layer that keeps the paint looking new and makes it easy to clean. Most new cars get the best result from both, and we'll recommend the right mix for how you drive.

Why not wait until the car needs it?

Because by then the damage is already in the paint. Protecting a new car costs less than correcting or respraying it later, and a car that has been protected from new is worth more when you sell it.

My car is not brand new. Is it too late?

Usually not. The paint gets inspected and corrected first, so the protection goes over the best version of what you already have.

Is the work warrantied?

Yes, all work is warrantied. We use IGL Coatings as an accredited installer and only premium products.

Do you do bikes, boats and caravans?

Yes. We also protect bikes, boats and caravans. Let us know what you have when you enquire.
