Service Overview

Full body PPF in Calgary starts at $3,999 — that's The Masterpiece, ceramic coating included — with most cars landing between $4,500 and $6,000 depending on size. Every painted panel gets wrapped in 8-mil (0.2 mm) self-healing urethane film, backed by a 10-year warranty. Here's the honest version most shops won't lead with: not every car needs the full wrap. Around 90% of the rock chips your car ever takes land on the front third, so for a lot of Calgary drivers, full-front PPF protects where it counts for a fraction of the price. Full body earns its keep when a chip anywhere is a real problem — collector and exotic paint, a matte or color-change finish you can't just buff, a high-end lease you're handing back, or a car you plan to keep flawless for a decade. If that's you, sealing every panel is money well spent. If it isn't, we'll tell you straight and point you to the coverage that fits.

Key Features

What Makes The Difference

Complete Coverage

Every painted panel: hood, roof, doors, quarters, trunk, and bumpers. Nothing left exposed to gravel.

Invisible Edges

We take the car apart so the film tucks inside the panel gaps — you shouldn't find where it stops.

Protects Resale

Original, chip-free paint is a real selling point. Buyers pay up for a car that still looks lot-fresh.

Satin Stealth Option

Want the matte look? Satin PPF turns factory gloss into satin — and it's reversible when you sell.

The Calgary Standard

Volume Shops vs. Boutique Studio

Most shops are built for volume — get the car in, get it out, on to the next one. We're built the other way. Here's exactly what that difference gets you.

Typical "Volume" Shop

  • Visible Seams

    Standard kits stop 1/8" from the edge. This line collects dirt and wax, creating an ugly outline.

  • Cutting on Paint

    Hand-cutting film directly on your car risks razor marks in your clear coat.

  • Rushed "Same Day" Install

    Film driven wet leads to lifting edges and water bubbles. 4-hour turnaround is a red flag.

  • Cuts Around Badges

    Leaves an unsightly ring of exposed paint around emblems.

Obsidian Auto Standard

Obsidian Auto

  • Wrapped Edges

    We modify patterns to wrap film around the panel edge — no film line to catch dirt, nothing to spot.

  • Precision Plotting

    All kits are computer-cut before touching your car. Zero risk of knife damage.

  • Multi-Day Curing

    We keep your car indoors overnight to ensure edges are heat-sealed and bond is permanent.

  • Badge Removal & Reinstall

    We remove emblems to install film underneath, then reinstall them to factory spec.

Does It Pay Off?

Run the Numbers

A full wrap makes the most sense on cars you'll keep a while and cars where clean original paint is worth real money at resale. Slide your numbers below for a rough estimate — then check our seasonal full-body PPF offers to see if a deal trims the cost.

Protecting Resale

Original, chip-free paint is a genuine selling point. A buyer looking at two identical cars will pay more for the one that still looks like it never left the lot — and PPF is how you keep it that way.

The "Frozen" Look

Stealth Conversion

Want the matte look without the headache of living with real matte paint? Satin Stealth PPF turns your factory gloss into a satin finish — and protects the paint underneath at the same time. Best of both worlds, and reversible when you're done with it.

  • Reversible Modification

    Unlike painting your car matte, this is removable. Protect your factory gloss paint underneath and peel it off when you sell.

  • Self-Healing Matte

    Factory matte paint cannot be polished if scratched—you have to repaint the panel. Our Stealth film heals itself with heat.

  • Easier Care

    No special matte soaps required. The film is stain resistant and hydrophobic.

Zero Compromise

Invisible Means Invisible.

Exposed edges are faster and safer to install, which is why most shops leave them. We take the car apart instead, so the film tucks deep into the panel gaps. Open your hood or a door and you shouldn't be able to spot where the film ends. On a full wrap you're paying for a decade of protection — the edges are where that money shows.

Common Queries

Full Body PPF, Straight Answers

Cost, coverage, and whether you even need the full wrap.

Full body PPF in Calgary starts at $3,999 here at Obsidian Auto — that's The Masterpiece, and it includes a ceramic coating on top. Most cars land between $4,500 and $6,000 once you factor in size and complexity: a big SUV or truck has a lot more square footage than a coupe, so it sits at the top of the range. That price buys 40–60 hours of hands-on work — a decontamination wash, full teardown of handles, lights and badges, multi-stage paint correction, then 8-mil (0.2 mm) self-healing film fitted over every painted panel. It's not cheap, and I won't pretend it is. But it's a decade of protection, done once.
Honest answer: most Calgary drivers don't need a full wrap. Somewhere around 90% of the rock chips your car ever eats land on the front third — hood, fenders, bumper, mirrors — because that's what meets the gravel first. So for a lot of people, full-front PPF (our Signature, from $1,499) protects where it actually counts for a fraction of the price. Full body earns its money in specific cases: collector or exotic paint, a matte or color-change finish you can't just buff a chip out of, a high-end lease you're handing back, or a car you plan to keep flawless for ten years. Tell me your car and how you drive it, and I'll tell you which camp you're in — even if it means talking you out of the bigger package.
Calgary is genuinely one of the toughest cities in Canada on paint, which is why it's such a big PPF market — and if a chip anywhere on the car bothers you, a full wrap is worth it here. Spring gravel on Deerfoot and Stoney sandblasts the front end, winter brine pits the lower panels and rockers, chinook freeze-thaw works moisture into every nick, and high prairie UV fades unprotected clear coat. A full body wrap seals all of that out under self-healing 8-mil film, so the paint underneath stays factory-fresh for the 10-year warranty period and well past it. If you only care about the highway-facing panels, though, full-front does the heavy lifting for less.
Yes — and this is where a full wrap is either done right or done fast. We pull off door handles, side mirrors, headlights, tail lights, and badges so the film wraps underneath and tucks roughly 5 mm inside the panel gaps. Open the hood or a door and you shouldn't be able to find where the film stops. The shortcut a lot of shops take is cutting the film on the visible surface a couple millimetres from the edge — it's faster, but that exposed line collects wax and grime and eventually lifts. We don't work that way.
They do two different jobs, so it's not really either/or. Full body PPF is a physical 8-mil urethane film that takes rock chips, scratches, and impact damage for you. Ceramic coating is a thin glass-like layer that adds gloss and hydrophobic self-cleaning and shrugs off UV and chemical stains — but it does nothing against a flying stone. PPF takes the hits; ceramic keeps the surface slick and easy to wash. Our Masterpiece full body wrap includes ceramic on top of the film, so you get both. If you're weighing one against the other, our ceramic coating page breaks down when each makes sense.
You can, and on a nicer lease it's a smart move. The film shields the paint from gravel chips and brine over your lease term, then peels off cleanly at return to reveal undamaged factory paint — which helps you dodge cosmetic wear charges. Removal doesn't harm the OEM paint when the film's been professionally installed and taken off. That said, on a modest lease you're often better served by full-front only — no sense paying to protect panels the gravel never reaches.
A full body wrap from us carries a 10-year warranty against yellowing, cracking, and delamination, and with basic care it routinely goes well beyond that. Upkeep is easy: hand wash every couple of weeks, skip the automatic brush washes, and use a pH-neutral soap. The film is self-healing, so light swirls and wash marks disappear with heat from the sun or warm water, and the topcoat is hydrophobic and stain-resistant — bug guts, bird droppings, and road brine rinse right off.
Plan on 5 to 7 days at our Calgary studio, and no, we won't rush it. The car goes through a decontamination wash, a full teardown, multi-stage paint correction to get the gloss perfect before it's sealed, precise film application across every panel, then a minimum 24-hour cure before we reassemble everything and do the final quality check. You're locking in the paint for a decade — those extra days are exactly what make the edges vanish and the film bond the way it should.
