Let’s face it, re- painting a damaged vehicle is expensive, repairs also damage re-sale value of the vehicle.
Statistics suggest, you will lose an extra 5-10% value on your car if there is prior damages which have been repaired.
Even with re-sale of your vehicle, the next person can enjoy a peace of mind knowing the paint has been and is still currently protected by a strong self-healing film*.
We can protect your vehicle WITHOUT removing a single panel.
How can we do this?
Here at Auto Artisan, we use designated protection film templates specific for your choice of vehicle. See images below example of a Nismo GTR.
Just be mindful, every vehicle is different. Some customers may want to avoid joins and seams. If this is you, that may be ok. However, we may need to remove some panels. We would be more than happy to discuss this in person with you.
Auto Artisan PPF Installation Process
Stage 1 – Inspection
- Vehicle comes in – general inspection for all exterior surfaces.
- We establish if the car is suitable for PPF as it stands or if it requires a pre application of paint correction due scratches or deeper marks.
Stage 2 – Full Clean and Re-inspect
- Vehicles receives full external detail with a clay bar using high gloss pH balanced detergent solution. We utilise a 2-bucket system to ensure utmost care of your vehicle.
- Then, we perform a post clean inspection to review for swirl marks.
Stage 3 – Advise or Proceed with Installation
- PPF can disguise the existing swirl marks, such as marks caused due to washing the vehicle. – If customer is aware, we will proceed with the installation.
- If deep scratches are present, we will call customer and recommend either a stage 1,2 or 3 paint correction.
Stage 4 – Decontamination & Preparation
- Next step is decontamination process, whereby we remove all contaminants with isopropyl alcohol, panel by panel.
- Then we mask any sensitive areas of the vehicles such as the headlights, window trims, plastic garnishes and more.
Stage 5 – Cut templates or Bulk-fitting
- We use software to find cut templates, if they are available.
- If there are no templates, we are skilled and we can provide custom installation, otherwise known as bulk-fitting.
- We prepare all cutting and preparation on a CWT (Cut-Work Table)
Stage 6 – Installation
- Now we can move to the full installation of our PPF.
Stage 7 – Quality Control Inspection & Handover
- Finally, we move to the Quality Control stage before the car receives final cleaning ready for return to it’s owner.
Stage 8 – Aftercare & Warranty
- Here at Auto Artisan, we only use premium products such as Suntek films. We offer manufacturers film warranty of up to 12 years, depending on the product you choose. In addition, we offer a 1 year workman-ship guarantee.
- Please see the PPF aftercare section on a separate page.
It doesn’t end here…
We are artisan’s, this means we will go above and beyond to ensure we find better ways to utilise the template. Alternatively, we are skilled and we can perform custom fit applications, otherwise known as “bulk fitting”.
We use reputable good quality brands such as Suntek Films and provide a film guarantee of up to 10 years.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PPF AND CERAMIC COATING?
Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Paint Coating are very different. Below are some quick explanations;
PPF is a clear film that is wrapped over the top of your paint. It’s purpose/abilities are listed below.
- Protect the original paint under the protective film
- Self healing
- Strong & durable
- Replaceable at any time if damage has occurred.
Ceramic Coating is designed to;
- Increase shine
- Create hydrophobic effect
- Provides greater ability to “buff out” damages
- Enhance UV protection to existing paint
- DOES NOT – stop stone chips OR stop anything that causes deep gouges or scrapes.
We do NOT use low quality films can discolour and turn yellow over time, or films that have the “orange peel” effect which minimises shine.
If you want cleaning to be a “thing of the past”,
Use PPF and Ceramic Coating together.

These guys are true artisans. They were set the hardest challenge to wrap a super challenging car in ppf and did an absolutely stellar job. If you want the best in the business look no further.
John K. –
Just picked up my Aston Martin Rapide, to say I was happy with the end result would be an understatement. Excellent end result, which exceeded my expectations. I was told they were good, and they definitely proved this to be the case. Friendly staff from the receptionist, Matt in sales down to the installers. All of them were a pleasure to deal with. I will be using them for signs at my office, and have already referred a Bentley owner to them for the PPF application. Thank you so much Auto Artisan team. John K.

I’d like to start of with thanking autoArtisan and there team for the amazing wrap . I Shopped around and got some cheaper Quotes and some around the same Mark . At first I thought it’s quite expensive as I’ve had wraps done before and were half the price . Let me just say this !!! I’d pay the extra and more after they did my car . The professionalism they showed and the pride they took towards wrapping my car was second to none . Best wrap I’ve ever had they covered every inch of the car adding 10 year warranty . I recommend you ask for Matt he is great and easy to deal with and if your lucky you might get the owner to have a chat with you and go over the vehicle and have a awesome chat with
