Service Overview

Here's the honest range: PPF cost in Calgary at Obsidian Auto runs from $399 for partial-front coverage to $3,999 for a full-body wrap. Full front-end coverage — the package most Calgary drivers land on — starts at $1,499, with big trucks and exotics sitting toward $2,400. The gap comes down to three things and nothing sneaky: how much of the car you wrap, its size and body lines, and whether the paint needs correcting first. Every price includes premium 8-mil film, wrapped edges, a 10-year warranty, and our lifetime workmanship guarantee — no surprise fees waiting for you at pickup.

Key Features

What Makes The Difference

The Film Itself

Premium 8-mil film from 3M, STEK, SunTek and GSWF costs about 3x the unbranded stuff — but it won't yellow or crack on you.

Hours on the Car

A proper full-front install is 8–12 hours of careful work in a heated, dust-controlled bay. There's no shortcut that ends well.

Disassembly

We pull parts to wrap the film around edges, so it disappears instead of leaving a line you'll notice for years.

The Guarantee

Part of the price is a 10-year warranty and our lifetime workmanship guarantee that the film won't peel or lift.

Transparent Pricing

PPF Pricing in Calgary — No Hidden Fees.

PPF at Obsidian Auto Calgary starts at $399 and runs to $3,999 for full-body coverage. Most shops make you call for a number — I'd rather just show you mine. Here's exactly what each tier covers, with the 10-year warranty built into every one of them. Before you book, it's worth checking whether one of our current PPF promotions and bundle savings applies to your package.

What Actually Moves Your PPF Price

Your final PPF quote in Calgary comes down to five things: how much of the car you wrap, its size and body lines, whether the paint needs correcting first, edge-wrapping labour, and film brand. Here's how each one moves the number — and which of them are already included so there's nothing sprung on you at pickup.

Coverage Level

$399 – $3,999

By far the biggest lever. Partial front (The Essential) starts at $399, full front (The Signature) at $1,499, full-body (The Masterpiece) at $3,999. More panels wrapped means more film on the roll and more hours on the car — that's the whole spread right there.

Vehicle Size & Body Lines

Varies

A compact sedan sips film; a full-size SUV or truck drinks it. Deep bumper curves and EV sensor cut-outs (Tesla, Rivian) also take more plotting and patient trimming, which is why two 'full fronts' can quote differently.

Paint Correction

From $599

Clear film magnifies whatever's under it, so if the paint isn't factory-fresh we polish the swirls out first — otherwise you seal them in for the life of the film. Brand-new cars usually skip this, and I'll tell you straight at the consult whether yours needs it.

Disassembly & Edge Wrapping

Included

We pull badges, lights, and handles to tuck the film around the edges so there's no line to spot. Plenty of shops charge extra for this or just cut the film on the panel instead. We don't do either — it's baked into the price.

Film Brand

Included

We run premium 8-mil film from 3M, STEK, SunTek, and GSWF — never the unbranded 'white-box' stuff that yellows in a couple of Alberta summers. Which brand you pick doesn't move your tier price, and the 10-year warranty rides on all four.

What Your Money Buys

"Mustafa and his team PPF'ed, Ceramic Coated and detailed my 1992 Toyota Supra, and the car now looks stunning. He kept me informed of the job progress, corrected areas that had been poorly done by others and the results could not have been better. He also detailed inside and out a family member's 2020 Toyota Tacoma, and again the vehicle turned out brilliantly. It is his attention to detail, absolute commitment to satisfying the customer that stands out. He is honest, never hesitates to answer questions and I cannot recommend him and his business higher. He is definitely an exceptional provider in his industry."

"These guys are professional, respectful and honest. I needed my paint protection film replaced because it was peeling on me, I gave them a call and they were able to get me in the next day. Mo took a look at my car and recommended that there was no need to remove all the paint protection film and just replace the bumper because all the other parts was perfectly fine. We also looked at some scratches that were really bothering me on my car's paint work and he recommended that I get my car paint corrected and ceramic coated. After they were done with my vehicle my car looked like it came out of the factory without a single scratch on it. I will definitely be recommending them to all my friends and family."

PPF Cost Questions, Answered Straight

What paint protection film actually costs in Calgary, what drives the price up or down, and what's already baked in — no runaround.

Paint protection film in Calgary at Obsidian Auto starts at $399 for The Essential (partial hood, fenders & mirrors) and runs to $3,999 for The Masterpiece (full-body coverage with ceramic coating included). The most popular tier — The Signature, full front-end coverage — starts at $1,499. Every price includes premium 8-mil film, wrapped edges, our 10-year warranty, and lifetime workmanship guarantee. Your exact price depends on coverage level, vehicle size, and whether paint correction is needed first.
Three things move it: vehicle size (a compact sedan uses far less film than a full-size SUV or truck), body complexity (deep bumper curves and EV sensor cut-outs take more plotting and trimming), and whether the paint needs correction first. The Signature full-front starts at $1,499; a big truck or an exotic with fussy body lines lands toward the top of that range. That's why I don't quote a full front sight-unseen — I'd rather look at your actual car and give you one fixed number than lowball you now and surprise you at pickup.
The Essential, from $399, is our most affordable PPF package in Calgary — partial hood, fenders, and mirrors. Here's my honest read: if your car mostly lives in the city and rarely sees highway gravel, it's genuinely worth it and I won't push you past it. But if you're on Deerfoot or Stoney most days, spend up to The Signature ($1,499) for full front-end coverage — the bumper and full hood are where nearly all the highway rock chips land, and the Essential leaves those exposed.
No, it's not mandatory — but on any car that isn't factory-fresh I'll strongly recommend it, because clear film magnifies whatever's under it. Skip the correction and you've just sealed your swirl marks in for the 10-year life of the film, where nobody can polish them out. Correction starts at $599, and brand-new cars can usually skip it entirely. At the consult I'll look at your paint in proper light and tell you honestly whether it needs the step or not — I'm not going to sell you a polish your car doesn't need.
Yes — Obsidian Auto offers financing on larger PPF packages so you can spread the cost over 12–24 months instead of paying upfront. It's a popular option for full-front and full-body protection on new and leased vehicles. Ask about financing when you request your quote and we'll outline the monthly options.
Every PPF price at Obsidian Auto Calgary includes a 10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, bubbling, cracking, and delamination, plus a lifetime workmanship guarantee covering peeling or lifting edges for as long as you own the vehicle. The film warranty is transferable if you sell, which adds resale value. There is no separate charge for the warranty — it's built into every tier from $399 up.
For most people putting kilometres on Deerfoot, Stoney, or Highway 1, yes — and I'd say the same about my own cars. A single deep rock chip that needs a panel repaint runs $500–$1,500 at a body shop, and spring gravel season reliably serves up several per year on unprotected paint. A full-front package ($1,499) typically saves you 1–3 of those repairs over its 10-year life, so it pays for itself and keeps the paint factory-fresh, which is exactly what a buyer or a dealer is looking at when they set your trade-in number. If you barely leave the neighbourhood, though, I'll tell you it's a want, not a need.
Colour-change PPF costs more than clear, for two reasons: pigmented and satin films are premium products, and a true colour change means wrapping the whole body. At Obsidian Auto a full colour change is our Masterpiece tier, from $3,999 with ceramic coating included, while partial accents — a blacked-out hood, roof, or mirror caps — start around $1,200. The satin and colour-shift lines we reach for most are STEK's, like DYNOmatte (a few other brands, including XPEL, make pigmented film too). The nice part versus vinyl: coloured PPF actually protects the paint underneath, and we can peel it off down the road to reveal your untouched factory finish.
Not really — warranty length rides with the film line you choose, not a separate line item on your invoice. Most premium films, 3M Scotchgard Pro Series and STEK DYNOshield among them, carry a 10-year manufacturer warranty, while SunTek Reaction currently runs 12 years with a super-hydrophobic top coat. Every tier from The Essential ($399) up includes the manufacturer warranty plus our lifetime workmanship guarantee at no extra charge, so you're really choosing on clarity, finish, and how the film performs — not paying à la carte for coverage.
