PremiumPPF Installation

Paint Protection Film (PPF) is an 8-mil thermoplastic polyurethane film that protects your vehicle from rock chips, road debris, bug acids, and everyday wear. We install UltraFit Paint Protection Film, featuring a self-healing top coat that helps light scratches disappear with heat while maintaining a crystal-clear, high-gloss finish for long-lasting protection. Protect your investment today — schedule your UltraFit PPF installation and drive with confidence.

Coverage Packages

We match PPF coverage to how and where you drive. Commuting I-35 through construction zones daily? Half Front minimum. Parking a six-figure car outside? Full Vehicle, no question.

Half Front

Targeted protection on the panels that catch 80% of road debris — front bumper, partial hood (24″ back from leading edge), mirrors, and fender tips. Ideal for daily Dallas-Fort Worth commuters who want smart, cost-effective coverage.

Full Front

Complete front-end protection includes the full hood, full fenders, front bumper, headlights, mirrors, and A-pillars. We use CORE cutting software to create precision-cut patterns designed specifically for your vehicle, ensuring an accurate fit with no hand-cutting on your paint.

Full Vehicle

Complete vehicle protection for exotics, show cars, and enthusiasts who want maximum defense against rock chips and road damage. Every panel is wrapped with UltraFit Paint Protection Film, featuring an advanced self-healing top coat, exceptional clarity, and a 10-year manufacturer warranty for long-lasting confidence and protection.

The Metroplex Advantage

Why Choose
Metroplex?

PPF installation demands precision — every edge, seam, and contour must be flawless. We use CORE cutting software to produce vehicle-specific patterns for an exact fit, then professionally install and hand-finish every edge in our climate-controlled facility for a clean, factory-quality appearance.

Computer-Cut Precision

We use CORE cutting software to create precision-cut patterns designed specifically for your vehicle's body lines. This eliminates the need for hand-cutting on your paint, reducing the risk of blade marks on your factory clear coat while ensuring a clean, accurate fit.

UltraFit Certified

Our certified technicians install UltraFit Paint Protection Film with precision and attention to detail. Featuring an 8-mil self-healing film and backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty, your investment is protected for years to come.

Edge-Wrapping, Not Edge-Tucking

We wrap PPF around panel edges wherever possible — not just tuck it under. This eliminates the lifting and peeling that starts within 6 months on edge-tucked installs, especially in the Dallas-Fort Worth heat cycle.

Pro Tip from the Shop

Computer-cut patterns aren't just a convenience — they protect your paint. When installers hand-cut film directly on your vehicle, even a small mistake can leave permanent blade marks in your clear coat. We use CORE cutting software to create precision-cut patterns before installation, eliminating the need to cut directly on your vehicle. The result is a safer installation, a cleaner fit, and professional-quality protection with UltraFit Paint Protection Film.

The Process

01

Vehicle Assessment

We inspect your paint, measure critical panels, and generate a vehicle-specific pattern using CORE cutting software for a precise, computer-cut fit.

02

Decontamination & Prep

Full foam cannon wash, iron decontamination spray, clay bar treatment, and IPA wipe-down. Any existing scratches get a spot correction.

03

PPF Installation

Computer-cut film applied panel-by-panel in our climate-controlled bay. Edges are wrapped, not tucked, and squeegeed with lint-free tools.

04

Post-Heat & Inspection

Every edge and seam gets heat-gun treatment for permanent adhesion. LED inspection under multiple angles before final delivery.

Avoid These Pitfalls

Common Mistakes We Fix

We regularly re-do PPF jobs from other shops. Here are the issues we see most often.

Cheap Film That Yellows in Texas Sun

Budget PPF without advanced UV protection can begin to yellow and lose clarity after prolonged sun exposure. UltraFit Paint Protection Film is engineered with UV-resistant technology to maintain exceptional clarity and is backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty, keeping your vehicle protected and looking its best for years to come.

Cutting Film Directly on Paint

Bulk-film installers who hand-cut on the car leave blade marks in your clear coat. These score lines are invisible until the film is removed — then they're a permanent, expensive problem. Computer-cut patterns eliminate this risk entirely.

Lifting Edges from Improper Prep

If the paint isn't chemically decontaminated (iron remover + clay bar + IPA wipe) before installation, the adhesive can't bond properly. We see lifted edges within weeks on cars where the installer skipped this step.

Edge-Tucking Instead of Wrapping

Tucking film under a panel edge instead of wrapping around it creates a stress point. In Dallas-Fort Worth's extreme heat cycles (60°F nights to 105°F days), that stress causes the film to pull back and lift. We wrap edges wherever access allows.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

PPF is an 8-mil (0.008″) thermoplastic polyurethane film with multiple layers: a polyester release liner, a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive, a 6-mil urethane impact layer, and a self-healing clear coat on top. The total thickness is roughly 3x that of a standard vinyl wrap, which is why it absorbs rock chips instead of just deflecting them.

The top coat layer is an elastomeric polymer that flows back to its original shape when heated above 120°F. In Dallas-Fort Worth, ambient summer temperatures often trigger self-healing naturally. For winter scratches, a heat gun or hot water activates the process in seconds.

UltraFit Paint Protection Film carries a 10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking, peeling, and staining. In our experience with Dallas-Fort Worth-area vehicles, properly maintained installs look excellent at the 7–8 year mark. Key factors are regular washing and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners.

PPF is a physical barrier — it absorbs impacts from rocks, door dings, and road debris. Ceramic coating is a chemical barrier that repels contaminants and UV but doesn't stop physical damage. For maximum protection, we recommend PPF as the base layer with ceramic coating applied on top.

Yes — when removed by trained technicians using proper heat and pull angles, PPF comes off cleanly. The paint underneath is often in better condition than the day the car left the factory since it's been shielded from UV, acid rain, and road debris for years.

Walk-ins are welcome for consultations at our Irving shop during business hours. For installation appointments, we recommend calling (972) 399-0378 to reserve your bay time — full front installs take a dedicated day, and full vehicle jobs take 3–5 days.
