Question 1

Why do trucks need PPF as much as cars?

Accepted Answer

Because trucks live a harder life. A modern half-ton has a hood the size of a small car and sits high enough to catch spray off its own front tires, and most of them see gravel — job-site lots, rural lease roads, the drive to the trailhead. Rockers and lower doors get sandblasted, the big flat hood collects highway chips, and Calgary road salt does the rest. Film keeps a truck you actually use looking like it isn't beat up.

Question 2

How much does truck PPF cost in Calgary?

Accepted Answer

Full front runs from $1,950 up to about $2,000 for an F-150, Ram, Silverado or Sierra, with full-vehicle coverage roughly $5,800 to $6,000. Heavy-duties like an F-250/350 or Ram 2500/3500 have more surface, so they run a bit more. Every price includes the 10-year film warranty and our lifetime workmanship guarantee. For most work trucks I'd start with full front plus rockers — that's where the damage actually happens.

Question 3

Do you protect off-road trucks like the Raptor, TRX and ZR2?

Accepted Answer

Those are the trucks that need it most. Aggressive tires fling way more rock, and off-road use means constant gravel and brush down the sides. We build off-road coverage that adds extended rockers, lower doors and A-pillars on top of the full front, so the panels taking the beating are the ones with film.

Question 4

Can you protect the bed sides and tailgate?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and it's the part people forget. A drop-in liner covers the bed floor, but the painted bedsides, rails and tailgate get scratched every time you slide gear in or drop the gate on a hitch. Film on those edges keeps them chip- and scratch-free without changing the look.

Question 5

Is truck paint any different to protect?

Accepted Answer

Same idea, just more of it. Base work-truck paint is fairly tough, but the premium trims — Denali, Platinum, Limited, High Country — run a softer, glossier clear that scratches like a luxury car. Either way, it's the sheer square footage up front that makes film worth it on a truck.

Question 6

Will PPF affect my truck's warranty?

Accepted Answer

No. It's removable and non-invasive, so your factory warranty is untouched, and it peels off clean if you sell or trade. Plenty of guys film a new truck the same week they pick it up.

Question 7

Do you protect the chrome on higher trims?

Accepted Answer

Yes — chrome grilles, bumpers, mirror caps and door handles all pit from salt and gravel, and pitted chrome is a replacement, not a fix. Clear film keeps it bright. Popular on Denali, Limited and Platinum trucks where there's a lot of it.

Question 8

Can you do rocker panels and lower doors?

Accepted Answer

That's the coverage I push hardest on trucks. Rockers and lower doors take the worst of the gravel spray, especially on anything that sees a dirt road. Extended rocker protection is cheap insurance next to a full respray down the line.

Question 9

Should I add ceramic coating too?

Accepted Answer

For a truck, yes — ceramic over the paint (and over the film) makes mud, dust and road grime rinse off far easier, which matters when your truck actually gets dirty. I usually pair film on the high-impact areas with ceramic on the rest, and I'll tell you honestly where each one earns its keep.

Question 10

How long does a truck install take?

Accepted Answer

Full front on a truck is usually 2-3 days — big hoods and grilles take time to do right. Full vehicle is 5-7, and adding off-road rockers and lower doors can add a day. Worth it: rushed film on a truck is film that peels the first time it meets a gravel road.
