The cost of paint protection film (PPF) varies depending on the car's size, the quality of the film, and the installer. On average, a full vehicle PPF installation ranges from $2,000 to $7,000, with high-end films costing more. For partial coverage, such as a front-end installation (hood, bumper, and fenders), prices typically range from $1,000 to $3,500. Premium films offer enhanced durability and self-healing properties, which can increase the price. DIY PPF kits are available starting around $200, but professional installation is recommended for a seamless and effective application, ensuring long-term protection against scratches and road debris.
