  • Technician squeegeeing clear paint protection film onto a black fender

    Self-healing urethane

    Paint protection film

    8-mil urethane over the panels gravel actually hits. Scratches close up with heat; rock chips stop at the film.

  • Impact-resistant film being installed on a vehicle windshield

    Impact-resistant glass film

    Windshield protection

    Optically clear film rated far beyond factory glass — it takes the highway strike instead of your windshield.

  • Rubberized undercoating being sprayed along a truck frame rail

    Rust & corrosion defense

    Undercoating

    Rubberized coating sealed along the frame and rockers, where Calgary's brine does the damage you never see.

  • Water beading in tight spheres on a ceramic-coated black hood

    Gloss & hydrophobics

    Ceramic coating

    A hard, slick layer bonded to the clear coat. Water sheets off, dirt struggles to hold, and the depth stays for years.

Five layers between gravel and your paint

Eight mil — about a fifth of a millimetre — doing the work of body shop time you never have to book.
Self-healing
Swirls and fine scratches disappear with heat — no polish, no visit.
Non-yellowing
UV inhibitors through the film, warranted 10 years against yellowing.
Edge-wrapped
Wrapped around the panel wherever it can be, so no edge collects dirt.

Film total: 8 mil · 0.20 mm

What a paint protection film build is made of

Clear top coat (Self-healing · hydrophobic)
Fine scratches close under heat from the sun or a warm engine bay.
Elastomeric polymer (Memory layer)
The layer that remembers its shape and pulls the top coat flat again.
Thermoplastic polyurethane (6 mil core)
The mass that absorbs a stone strike instead of passing it to the paint.
Acrylic adhesive (Removable)
Bonds without bonding permanently — it comes off clean years later.
Your factory paint (Untouched)
Clear coat and base coat, exactly as the factory sprayed them.

Film total: 8 mil · 0.20 mm

Four days, four checkpoints

Same sequence on a $399 partial front as on a full-body build. The only thing that changes is how long step three takes.
  1. Inspection

    We put the car under the lights and read the paint before quoting a thing.

    45 min · clear-coat depth gauged panel by panel

  2. Decontamination

    Iron fallout dissolved, bonded contaminants sheared off, surface wiped to bare clear coat.

    Iron remover · clay · IPA wipe-down

  3. Installation

    Patterns plotted to your exact model, then laid and wrapped in a dust-controlled bay.

    1–3 days · no blade ever touches your paint

  4. Handover

    Final inspection under the same lights, then the car goes home with its paperwork.

    24 h cure · 10-year film warranty registered

Installs are won at the edge

Paint Protection Film

Bring the car in before the first Deerfoot commute. Film over factory paint is a different job from film over a repaint, and we’d rather see it first. Comparing shops? How to choose a PPF installer in Calgary.

Talk to an installer

No. We use premium, top-tier films (3M, STEK, SunTek, and GSWF) that are engineered with advanced UV inhibitors to prevent yellowing. Our films come with a 10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, bubbling, and peeling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Paint Protection Film

Will the film turn yellow over time?
No. We use premium, top-tier films (3M, STEK, SunTek, and GSWF) that are engineered with advanced UV inhibitors to prevent yellowing. Our films come with a 10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, bubbling, and peeling.
Can I see the edges of the film?
We specialize in 'wrapped edges' wherever possible. This means we wrap the film around the panel edges so the edge disappears with the panel. Where wrapping isn't technically possible, the edge is precison-cut to be as invisible as possible.
Does PPF fix existing scratches?
PPF has self-healing properties that can mask very fine swirl marks, effectively 'filling' them in. However, it is not a paint correction solution for deep scratches. We highly recommend our paint correction service before application to ensure a flawless finish underneath.
What happens if a rock hits the film?
The film is designed to absorb the impact energy. For minor impacts and scratches, the self-healing top coat will repair itself with heat (sun or hot water). For major impacts that would have chipped your paint, the film sacrifices itself to save the factory finish.

Ceramic Coating

Does Ceramic Coating prevent rock chips?
No. This is the most common misconception. Ceramic Coating is a chemical bond that provides immense gloss, UV protection, and hydrophobic (easy clean) properties. It does NOT offer impact protection against rocks. For impact protection, you need PPF.
How long does the coating last?
It depends on the package you choose. We offer professional-grade coatings that range from 1-year to 8-year durability. Proper maintenance (regular hand washing) is key to maximizing the lifespan of the coating.
Can I use an automatic car wash?
We strongly advise against 'soft touch' or brush-style automatic washes as they are abrasive and will induce swirl marks, damaging both the coating and your paint. Touchless washes are safe in a pinch, but hand washing is always the gold standard.
Do I still need to wax my car?
No! One of the biggest benefits of ceramic coating is that you never need to wax your car again. The coating provides a depth of shine and protection far superior to wax that lasts for years, not weeks.

Window Tint

What is the difference between Carbon and Ceramic tint?
Carbon tint provides great looks and privacy with color stability. Ceramic tint is the performance choice—it rejects significantly more heat (Infrared rays) without needing to be super dark. It's essential for keeping your cabin cool in summer and protecting your interior from UV damage.
Is window tint legal in Alberta?
Alberta doesn't allow any tinting film on the windshield or on the front side windows beside the driver unless you hold a medical exemption permit from the Government of Alberta, and that permit only allows clear UV film with a combined visible light transmittance of 50% or more. The rear side windows and the rear window can take any shade, as long as the vehicle has outside mirrors on both sides. There's no exception for a strip along the top of the windshield, and film that reflects headlights or sunlight into other drivers' eyes isn't allowed on any window.
Will the tint bubble or turn purple?
Not at Obsidian Auto. We only use premium films backed by a lifetime warranty. The 'purple' look comes from cheap dye-based films breaking down. Our films are color-stable and guaranteed to perform for as long as you own the vehicle.

Detailing & Correction

What is Paint Correction?
Paint correction is the skilled process of machine polishing the paint to permanently remove defects like swirl marks, scratches, water spot etching, and oxidation. We essentially level the clear coat microscopic amounts to create a perfect mirror finish.
How long does a full detail take?
A basic interior/exterior premium detail can take 3-5 hours. A multi-stage paint correction and protection package is a major project that typically takes 1-3 days depending on the condition of the vehicle and the level of perfection desired.
Can you remove bad odors?
Yes. We use advanced ozone generators and enzymatic cleaners to eliminate organic odors (smoke, pets, food) at the source, rather than just masking them with perfumes. It resets the interior environment.

Booking & General

How do I book an appointment?
You can book directly through our website using the 'Get a Quote' button, or give us a call at 587 323 3222. We often require a deposit to secure your booking slot in our calendar.
Do you offer courtesy vehicles?
No. We don't have loaner cars, a shuttle, or a pickup service, so plan a ride for drop-off and collection. The studio is near Chinook, so most people get a lift or a rideshare, and for multi-day jobs we'll book your drop-off and collection times around your schedule.
What are your payment options?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Interac Debit and cash. Credit cards carry a 2.4% surcharge, and a deposit is taken on all bookings. We don't offer financing.
