Self-healing colour
Light swirls and wash marks relax out of the top coat with heat, so the colour stays sharp rather than dulling like a wrap can.
Coloured paint protection film
A new colour, with the protection of PPF
Coloured paint protection film changes the look of your car and shields the paint underneath. Self-healing, thicker than vinyl, and finished to the same standard as our clear PPF work.
Colour change without the compromise
Coloured PPF is paint protection film with the colour built in. You get a factory-quality colour change and the same chip, scratch and stain resistance as clear film — including a self-healing top coat and warranties of up to 10 years.
It sits between a vinyl wrap and a respray. Thicker and more protective than wrap, fully reversible unlike paint, and finished in our Ringwood studio with the same prep, templating and edge work we use on clear PPF.
Choose a full vehicle, a roof, mirrors, or accent pieces. Door shuts and returns can be included so the colour carries through when a door is opened.
Why coloured PPF
Look, protection and a way back
A colour change that still looks after the car underneath.
Proper paint protection
The film is built to take stone chips, insect splatter and road tar. The original paint stays underneath, untouched.
Reversible
When it comes off, the factory colour is still there. No respray, no blended panels, no surprise at trade-in.
Gloss, satin or shift
Solid colours, metallics and colour-shifting films, all with a bonded top coat. We will help you choose a product that suits the car.
Edges done properly
Returns and door shuts are optional, priced from the number of doors. The finish looks finished from every angle, not just the outside.

Finishes
Choose the colour and the sheen
All of the coloured films we fit carry a self-healing top coat and a manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking and delamination.
Gloss
A wet, factory-paint look. The closest match if you want the car to look resprayed rather than wrapped.
Satin
A silk finish that takes the shine down without going fully matte. Quiet, expensive, and easy to live with.
Matte
A flat, even colour with no reflection. Strong on darker shades and performance cars.
Metallic & shifting
Pearls, metallics and colour-shift films for a look that changes with the light. We will talk you through what will work on your panels.
Coloured PPF FAQs
The questions we are asked most
How is coloured PPF different from a vinyl wrap?
Both change the colour. Coloured PPF is a thicker, self-healing paint protection film with a much longer warranty — typically up to 10 years, against around 3–5 years for vinyl. It costs more and takes longer, and it protects the paint from chips in a way wrap does not.
Will it hide the original paint?
Yes. The colour is in the film. The factory paint stays underneath and comes back when the film is removed.
Can I have door shuts and returns in the same colour?
Yes. We can wrap the shuts and returns so the colour continues when a door is opened. That is priced from the number of doors — three-door cars as three, four- and five-door cars as five.
Does it self-heal like clear PPF?
Yes. Light swirls and wash marks relax out of the top coat with warmth. Deeper cuts still need a panel replacing, the same as clear film.
How long does a full coloured PPF take?
A full vehicle is typically around five working days, depending on the colour, the coverage and whether door shuts are included. We confirm the diary once we have seen the car.
Can I combine it with clear PPF or a wrap?
Yes. Some customers run coloured PPF on the body and clear film on glass or high-impact edges, or pair it with tinting and de-chrome. We will quote it as one job.
Have a colour in mind?
Send the registration, the finish you want and a few reference images. We will tell you whether coloured PPF, a wrap, or a mix of the two is the right route.
