Paint Protection Film

Protect your paint with clear film

Clear PPF covers the paint surface without changing your car’s current colour. We decide the coverage and film type together during the inspection.

Paint protection film (PPF) is a protective film applied over a car’s paint. Clear PPF helps protect the paint against everyday hazards such as stone chips and light surface scratches without changing the car’s colour; matte and coloured options are also available. At Royal Class Garage, PPF is applied at our workshop in Bornova, Izmir, using Throne Gard films. Coverage can range from selected areas such as the front bumper and bonnet to the whole car, and is decided together during the inspection.

Paint protection film

What is PPF?

PPF is a protective film laid over the paint surface as a thin layer; it is most commonly clear. It helps protect the paint against the stone chips and light scratches you come across in everyday driving. Before installation, the surface is cleaned and prepared, and the film is fitted to follow the car’s lines. You can have just the impact-prone areas covered, or the whole car. Gloss, matte and coloured films are available; we plan the coverage and film type together, based on your car’s condition and what you expect.

The Royal Class approach

A good result starts with a careful process.

When you trust us with your car, we take care of product choice, installation preparation, the workmanship record and after-sales support together.

  1. The right Throne Gard product for you

    We go through our product options with you, based on whether you prefer an ultra gloss or a satin matte look.

  2. Cut on a machine, not on the car

    We prepare the film before installation using PRECUT digital patterns. We work without removing parts from the car and without using a blade on the car.

  3. A workmanship record for every panel

    We record which of our installers covered which part, with their full name, signature and start and finish times.

  4. Still in touch after handover

    We stay by your side with your warranty card, your online warranty record and our call centre, which reaches the new owner after a warranty transfer.

Careful product choice + recorded workmanship + a warranty you can track

Accident video

PPF in a real accident

We removed the Throne Gard PPF from a Mercedes C-Class whose whole side was damaged in an accident, with the customer present; there was no damage to the paint under the film. After paintless dent repair, the car was covered with Throne Gard PPF again.

Throne Gard PRECUT

Digital pattern. Controlled installation.

With Throne Gard PRECUT we use the car’s panel patterns and cut the film on a machine before installation. We move preparation off the car’s surface and into a digital pattern and cutting process.

  • Without removing parts.

    We install without removing parts from the car. We check the fit at panels and edges throughout the installation.

  • Without a blade on the car.

    The film is prepared in advance to its digital pattern. We do not cut freehand with a blade on the car.

The process

How does PPF installation work?

Before we start, we agree together on what will be done and to what extent.

  1. Inspection

    We assess the condition of the paint and the coverage options together.

  2. Surface preparation

    The paint surface is cleaned and prepared for installation.

  3. Film installation

    Throne Gard film is fitted to the selected areas.

  4. Check and handover

    The work is reviewed and the car is handed back.

Traceable workmanship

Every part has a workmanship record.

We record which of our installers covered which part and what time they started and finished, with their full name and signature. This information is archived in our database.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

What does PPF do?

PPF helps protect your paintwork against everyday hazards such as stone chips and light surface scratches. It is a paint protection film applied over the car’s paint, most commonly clear.

Does PPF change the colour of my car?

Clear PPF does not change your car’s colour. A matte film gives the surface a matte finish, and a coloured film changes the car’s look as well; we settle on your preference together during the inspection.

Can PPF be applied to certain areas only?

Yes. It can be applied to selected areas such as the front bumper and bonnet, or to the whole car. The coverage is decided during the inspection, based on your car’s condition and what you expect.

What do you check on the car before applying PPF?

We look at the current condition of the paint: stone chips, scratches and areas that have been repainted or repaired can affect the choice of coverage. At the end of the inspection, we agree together on which film goes on which areas.

Which film do you use for PPF?

We use Throne Gard films for our PPF work. The film type and coverage are decided together during the inspection, based on your car.

Do you work on different car brands and models?

Services are available for a variety of car brands and models. For more information, please contact us.

Will the original paint be damaged if the wrap or PPF is removed?

With correct installation and removal, the original paintwork is preserved. Please contact us for further details.

Can paint protection film and window tinting be applied at the same time?

Paint protection film and window tinting can be applied together. Contact us for more details.

How should a vehicle with ceramic coating be washed?

After ceramic coating, the vehicle should be washed using special techniques and suitable products. For more information, please contact us.
