What to Expect With Automotive Paint Protection Film
  • **Installation time**: Full-vehicle STEK PPF takes 2–3 days depending on complexity. Partial coverage (front bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors) takes 4–8 hours. We work in our climate-controlled shop for best results.
  • **Vehicle prep**: Your car gets a deep wash and clay bar treatment before PPF goes on. This removes contaminants so the film adheres perfectly and lasts longer.

Why Automotive Paint Protection Film Matters
  • **Prevents costly paint repairs**: Rock chips and scratches cost $500–$2,000 per panel to repair, depending on damage depth. Clear coat correction (polishing out swirls and minor scratches) costs $300–$800 per panel. STEK film prevents these repairs from being needed.
  • **Maintains resale value**: Unprotected paint depreciates faster due to visible damage. Protected paint keeps your car looking newer longer. Buyers in the Lake Norman area pay premium prices for well-maintained vehicles with flawless finishes.
  • **Self-healing protection**: STEK film has elasticity that allows minor scratches and swirls to disappear on their own (usually within 24 hours). This is a major advantage over traditional clear coat.
Why Automotive Paint Protection Film Matters
How Precision Tints LLC Handles Automotive Paint Protection Film
  • **STEK brand expertise**: We use STEK PPF exclusively because it's optically clear, yellows less over time than cheaper films, and has excellent self-healing properties. We're trained and certified in STEK application.
  • **Precision cutting and installation**: We use computer-aided cutting for exact panel fit. Hand-stretching and custom edges prevent visible seams and ensure the film stays put even under stress. Competitors use generic templates and leave visible edges that collect dirt.
  • **Expert full-vehicle coverage**: We offer partial (high-impact areas) or full-coverage options. Full coverage (hood, fenders, doors, roof, bumper, mirrors, tailgate) runs 2–3 days and costs $1,800–$2,800 depending on vehicle size. Partial bumper and hood coverage is $600–$900. We layout a coverage plan so you know exactly what's protected.

Common Questions About Automotive Paint Protection Film
Is STEK PPF worth the cost?
Yes, if you drive in areas with road debris or keep your car long-term. Full coverage at $1,800–$2,800 protects against damage that would cost $500–$2,000 per panel to fix. Most owners recoup the cost by avoiding 1–2 repairs over 5 years. It also keeps your paint factory-perfect, which matters for resale value.
Will STEK film yellow or discolor over time?
STEK film is engineered not to yellow under UV. Cheaper films yellow within 2–3 years. STEK maintains clarity for 10+ years. We warranty it against yellowing for the life of your ownership.
Can PPF be removed without damaging my paint?
Yes. STEK adheres to clear coat, not paint. If you want it removed in 5 years (or whenever), a professional can remove it safely without stripping your clear coat. Some paint shops offer removal, but we do it carefully since we know exactly how thick the film is.
Is there any maintenance or care required for STEK PPF?
Wash normally. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing for the first week. After that, regular car wash and wax are fine. Some owners apply ceramic coating over STEK for extra shine (we can recommend a shop in Lake Norman that does this). No special maintenance is needed.
What happens if the film gets damaged?
Minor scratches self-heal within a day or two. Larger tears or punctures can be patched with a small cut of new film (invisible seam). Major damage (like a large gouge) may require that panel to be re-done, which costs less than the original installation since we already have the patterns.

Marine Window Tinting

Tinting the helm windows, cabin glass, and side ports on your boat cuts UV exposure, kills glare on the water, and drops cabin temps by 15-20 degrees. Lake Norman sun is brutal. Quality marine film handles salt spray, humidity swings, and constant water exposure without peeling or haze.

Construction & Equipment Window Tinting

Operators in skid steers, excavators, dozers, and backhoes sit in cabs with direct sun exposure for 8-10 hours. Untinted glass turns the cab into an oven (120+ degrees) and glare causes eye strain and safety issues. Professional tint on cab windows reduces temps 15-25 degrees and cuts glare 70-80%.

Fleet Vehicle Graphics & Lettering

Your company vehicles are rolling advertisements. Fleet graphics, door lettering, and spot logos put your business name and number in front of customers every time you're on the road. We work with cast vinyl (5–7 year durability) and calendered stock (2–3 years) for the right fit and budget.

Car Detailing

Detailing is professional washing, clay bar treatment, paint decontamination, and deep interior cleaning. We strip road grime, pollen, and contaminants from the clear coat, then clean out every crevice inside. It's the service that preps cars for ceramic coating or PPF, or stands alone to restore shine and health to the paint.

Boat Ceramic Coating

Boat ceramic coating (IGL Coatings) is a hard, protective layer applied to hull gel coat and surfaces. It shields against UV fading, algae growth, water spotting from Lake Norman minerals, and oxidation. Unlike car ceramic, boat gel coat has different prep requirements (more oxidation to remove, softer surface). Coating lasts 1–3 years depending on maintenance and sun exposure.

Car Ceramic Coating

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds to your paint and creates a 9H hardness shell that beads water, shrugs off bird droppings, tree sap, and UV damage. IGL Coatings is professional-grade protection. It doesn't replace your need to wash the car, but it makes dirt and contaminants slide off instead of etching.
