02 //The short version

Invisible armor for rock chips, lava dust and salt air.

Paint protection film is an optically clear urethane film applied over your paint. The film we install is 8 mil β€” considerably thicker than a wrap vinyl β€” with a self-healing elastomeric layer that lets light swirls flatten out with heat, and a ceramic top coat that resists the things which etch clear coat.

It does three jobs: it absorbs impact energy that would otherwise chip paint, it heals its own fine scratches, and it resists bird droppings, sap and acidic deposits. It is not armour β€” a hard enough hit will still mark a panel β€” but it converts the everyday attrition that ruins a front end into something invisible.

Coverage runs in tiers because the value is not evenly distributed. The bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors and lights take essentially all of the impact damage, which is why full-front coverage is the most popular kit we install.

Why it matters here

What Kona does to your vehicle.

Island-specific reasons this service earns its place, rather than a generic list of benefits.

The Queen K is exposed

Queen KaΚ»ahumanu Highway runs roughly thirty miles north across open lava fields with nothing to break the wind β€” the weather service issues advisories for this corridor routinely. Fast, open, and full of loose cinder along the shoulders.

Volcanic cinder is abrasive

Lava rock is sharp and it does not round off the way ordinary grit does. It chips front ends on the highway, and it scratches paint badly when a dusty car gets wiped down dry.

Salt air finds the gaps

Coastal air carries salt well inland on this coast. Salt accelerates corrosion wherever paint is already compromised, so a stone chip that has gone to primer is an entry point rather than a cosmetic problem.

Packages

Kits are priced from a sedan baseline; larger vehicles scale. Matte and coloured finishes add roughly 30%. Your proposal shows the exact figure for your vehicle.

How it works

What the job looks like.

  1. 01 //

    Paint prep

    Decontamination wash, clay and a light polish so nothing is sealed under the film.

  2. 02 //

    Plotter-cut kit

    UPPF or STEK film cut to your exact model; custom patterns when we need to wrap an edge.

  3. 03 //

    Wet install

    Film floated into place, squeegeed and edges tucked β€” 1 to 2 days in the shop for a full front.

  4. 04 //

    Cure + care

    No washing for 7 days. After that, hand wash and enjoy the self-healing top coat.

Lava dust is sandpaper

Fine volcanic grit on the Kona highways pits bumpers and hoods faster than mainland roads. Salt air finishes the job on any chip. PPF keeps the factory paint under glass, which is what a buyer pays for at resale.

Brett did an amazing job vinyl wrapping my van. From the graphic design to the complete install and finish. On point. I couldn't ask for anything better. I am definitely going back for future projects. πŸ€™πŸΎ Mahalo
