How it runs
How a window tint booking runs for Newport Beach drivers
- Call with the vehicleYear, make, model, which glass you want done and roughly how dark you want the rear. Price, film, VLT and turnaround are confirmed before anything is scheduled.
- Leave the car about four hoursA windshield on its own is two hours. Film goes on indoors — we are not mobile, and for tint that is a feature, because wind and airborne dust ruin an otherwise clean install.
- Leave the windows up for three to five daysThe film goes on wet and the rest of that moisture evaporates through it. You get the number for your car at pickup. Rolling a window down early is the most common way a good install gets ruined.

How it runs
How a clear bra install runs for Newport Beach drivers
- Decontaminate the paintWashed, then chemically decontaminated to pull embedded iron and tar out of the clear coat, then clayed. Panel edges, shut lines, badge surrounds and the lip behind the bumper are cleaned by hand, because that is where adhesive fails first if grit is left behind.
- Take panels off where coverage calls for itWrapping an edge means the film goes around the metal and terminates on the back side, where you cannot see it and a pressure washer cannot catch it. Bumpers, mirror caps, badges, handles, headlights and trim come off for that reason. We tell you what we plan to remove, and why, before we start.
- Lay the filmSlip solution goes on, the film is positioned, the solution is squeegeed out from the center, and heat shrinks the material into compound curves so it lies flat instead of fingering at the corners. Every panel is worked until the adhesive is fully wet out.
- Let it cureKeep the car dry for 48 hours and unwashed for a week. Expect some haze, small bubbles or a faint milky look in the first days — normal, and it clears on its own. Give it a couple of weeks in the sun before judging the finish. If an edge looks like it is lifting in that window, do not pick at it. Call us.

How it runs
How a full color change runs for Newport Beach drivers
- Pick the color off a sample, not a photoCome look at film in daylight and under the shop lights before you commit. Photos lie about satin and matte; samples do not. We tell you which brand we are quoting — STEK Automotive, SunTek or 3M — before you commit.
- Prep, which is most of the laborWashed, decontaminated, and cleared of any old wax or sealant, because adhesive does not bond through wax. Then disassembly, then a solvent wipe panel by panel immediately before film goes on. Oil left on the surface becomes a lifted edge three weeks later.
- Lay the film, five to seven daysVinyl has a grain and a stretch limit. Deep recesses, sharp body lines and complex bumper shapes take relief cuts, heat and patience, which is why a full wrap takes days rather than hours. A roof or hood alone is one day; a chrome delete is four hours.
- Wash it by hand from then onTwo buckets, a clean mitt, pH-neutral soap, and dry with microfiber rather than letting it spot in the sun. Stay out of automatic washes with brushes — brushes catch film edges and lift them.
Environment
Coastal exposure on a garage-kept Newport car
Cars near the water live in salt air — on the Peninsula, in Corona del Mar and up on Newport Coast — whether the car sleeps inside or not. A garage helps with sun and dew. It does nothing about the miles you actually drive.
- Sand and grit thrown up along Pacific Coast Highway
- Bird droppings and sap under the trees around Back Bay
- Hard water spots from rinsing a hot panel in the sun
Vehicle types
New luxury, performance and electric cars
We are not going to claim we have done twenty of your exact car. We will tell you how we intend to do yours and where the difficult parts are. Categories matter more than badges, and each one changes the plan and the hours, which is why every price says varies by vehicle.
- Luxury SUV: large flat panels and body color trim that used to be chrome
- Performance coupe: splitters and vents where film gets relieved and tucked, not stretched
- EV: a one piece front clamshell, a glass roof and sensor housings to work around

Questions from Newport Beach drivers
Should I do full body PPF or just the front on a new car?
For a car that is garaged and driven on weekends, we recommend full body. Wear on a low mileage coastal car lands on door edges, rockers and horizontal panels as much as on the nose, and partial coverage always leaves an edge. Full body is $5,500 and varies by vehicle; the front package at $1,850 is the better call on a higher mileage daily driver.
Why does every PPF price say varies by vehicle?
Because the labor varies. A simple coupe and a one piece EV clamshell front end are not the same job, and body color trim, splitters, sensor housings and existing film all change the hours. We quote your car first, and the written quote is the price you pay.
Do you offer mobile PPF or wraps in Newport Beach?
No. We work out of one shop at 15317 Pipeline Ln in Huntington Beach and we do not do mobile installs. Film and vinyl need a controlled indoor space and lighting good enough to inspect a panel under. A multi day job is two trips, drop off and pick up.
Is very dark tint legal on front windows in California?
No. CVC 26708(d) requires the material to have "a minimum visible light transmittance of 88 percent" and to meet FMVSS 205 including "the specified minimum light transmittance of 70 percent", which is two thresholds rather than one. Rear side windows and the rear window have no darkness limit as long as the car has both side mirrors. This is general information about the statute, not legal advice.
How long will my car be with you?
A full color change wrap and full body paint protection film are both five to seven days. A roof or hood wrap is one day, chrome delete is four hours, and a full vehicle tint is four hours. Short jobs can be booked together as a single drop off.
What does the two year, 24,000 mile warranty cover?
It covers our workmanship: lifting, peeling, bubbling and edges that did not hold. It is separate from and on top of whatever the film manufacturer warrants on the film itself. We assess it per vehicle and put the terms in writing before we start.
