What Is Paint Protection

Paint protection, commonly known as a clear bra or PPF, is typically installed on the front of your vehicle so it can protect it from common road debris such as rocks, gravel, salt, sand and even insects while driving. This thin, nearly undetectable and removable urethane film can almost be associated as a screen protector but for the paint of your car. It is engineered to protect your paint from the harshest

conditions, while preserving that new car shine from the day you picked up your vehicle.

Why Us?

  1. We stand behind our products and our work foremost at Kickin’ Customs LLC. We are factory trained and factory certified in Xpel.  We have enjoyed 5+ years of success together, and have never been let down by their factory and customer service standards!
  2. We cut all of our materials on our trusted Graphtec and Summa plotters. To those unaware of what those are, the best way most people recognize it is as “laser cut patterns” from a very high end machine versus hand-cutting which takes a blade to every linear inch of the films patterns. We’ve invested plenty into our equipment, our material, our software, and most of all our experience to ensure all patterns are extremely accurate whichtherefore results in limiting the amount of blade contact against your vehicle!
  3. We work hard to make sure you are happy with your install! Any questions you may have, please feel free to check out FAQ or contact us directly!
