Paint protection film (PPF), also known as “clear bra” is a protective layer installed on the exterior of your car. It is by far the most effective way to protect your vehicle’s paint from rock chips, scratches, bugs, UV damage, and staining. Think of it like a screen protector for your car!
At 5 Star Design, we’ve partnered with SunTek™ to deliver a high-quality, self-healing protective shield for your vehicle. Backed by a 12-year manufacturer guarantee, we are confident that our PPF will defend your vehicle from the harsh elements it faces on the road.
PPF is only as good as the installation. Our highly-trained and experienced installers will ensure the attention-to-detail that your vehicle deserves. To ensure you have the best possible result, we recommend paint correction for all PPF installations. This guarantees your paint is in the best shape possible before having the protective film installed over it.

PPF can be applied to a variety of different areas depending on what you want protected. Generally, our customers have it installed to the high-impact and high-wear zones. This usually means sections like the front bumper, hood (partial or full), mirrors, front lip, door handles and cups.
For our clientele that want complete protection, we install a full-body PPF that covers the entire car. This is our most common choice for high-end and exotic car owners. To really seal the deal, we recommend enhancing your PPF with ceramic coating.

Before any PPF installation, we highly recommend paint correction to ensure your paint is in the best condition possible.
This will allow us to remove paint imperfections such as swirls, scratches, and dings before applying PPF.
The cost to install PPF on your vehicle is influenced by a variety of factors including film type, application area(s), vehicle size, paint condition, body lines, and film finish just to name a few. For an exact cost, kindly schedule a time to bring your vehicle to us. To get started, fill out the form below!
Our PPF installations come with the manufacturer standard warranty ranging from 10-12 years on the film and a 1 year warranty on the labor from our shop. If you would like an extended warranty on your film installation, talk with a member of our staff.
PPF packages are completely customizable. You can add PPF to as many or as little areas as you want on your car. You also don’t have to do it all at once! Fill out the form below to get the process started
On average, PPF jobs are finished within 1-3 days. A full vehicle could take a week or more. The duration of your installation will vary depending upon the size and complexity of the job. It also depends on the condition of your paint and how much preparation we need to do to ensure the best possible result.
You may see water (can look like bubbles) under the film for the first several days as the drying process completes. We happily provide a complimentary touch-up appointment to correct any minor areas, if needed. In some cases, edges can lift even after our careful curing process due to the natural effects of the sun. We ask that you allow at least 1 week before calling to schedule a return visit for touch-ups.
We are a preferred paint protection film installer for the greater triangle area.
