Paint Protection Film
in Novi, MI
Paint protection film for Novi, about 15 minutes down I-275. Hand-installed, self-healing film that stops rock chips, road rash and bug etching before they reach your paint.
Armor for the I-96 and I-275 crowd.
Novi sits where I-96, I-275, I-696 and M-5 all come together, and that much freeway means that much debris. Gravel haulers, construction zones and winter road grit are why a two-year-old car around here can have a front end that looks ten. PPF absorbs those impacts. We clay and decontaminate the paint, cut the film to your exact panels and heat-set the edges so nothing lifts at freeway speed. The usual starting point is the bumper, hood, fenders and mirrors, with rocker panels or full-body coverage for cars you plan to keep. Matte film is also an option if you want to change the finish while you protect it.
“I got my car tinted and PPF here. An absolutely incredible job. Moody was prompt with updates and the quality speaks for itself. All my edges are tucked and the tint goes right to the edge. Never knew you could do that.”
“I recommend all my friends and family to Imperial Auto Films. The best customer service around paired with true quality work, and fairly priced. Would give more stars if I could.”
“I've been to a few shops and this is by far the best shop in the area! From their customer service to their work is impeccable! Always the best prices and flawless work. Highly recommended.”

Invisible armor, installed by hand.
Paint protection film is a clear urethane layer that takes the hit instead of your paint: rock chips, road rash, bug acid and the light scratches that show up after one winter. The top coat is self-healing, so swirl marks relax out with heat from the sun or warm water. Every install starts with a decontamination wash and clay, then the film is patterned and cut to your panels, squeegeed flat and heat-set at the edges in a dust-controlled bay. You pick gloss or matte, front end or full body, and it carries a 12-year factory warranty.
Paint Protection Film FAQ.
Can you see where the film ends?
Applied properly it is very hard to spot. The film is cut to the panel and the edges are tucked and heat-set, so there is no obvious line across the middle of a hood or fender.
Can I put ceramic coating over PPF?
Yes, and it is a common combination. The film goes on first and handles the impacts, then the coating goes over the film and the rest of the paint so the whole car beads water and washes easily.
Is it worth it on a car I already drive?
Yes, as long as the paint is in good shape. We decontaminate and clay the surface first so nothing gets trapped under the film. It will not erase chips that are already there, but it stops the next ones.
