Paint Protection · Plymouth Meeting, PA

    Turnpike miles
    without the chips.

    476 into 276, at speed, through work zones most of the year. We spray a clear film over your paint so the stone hits that and your finish stays the one you bought the car with.

    Before

    Two years of tolls.

    Toll road miles are fast miles, and fast miles are where stone stops bouncing and starts cutting. Add a work zone with loose aggregate on the shoulder and you have the worst combination there is for a front end.

    Two years in, the bumper has a scatter of white specks and the hood edge is peppered. It reads fine in the garage and obvious in direct sun, and it is a line item at trade-in.

    After

    Same commute, clean nose.

    Everything that would have hit your clearcoat hits a clear film sitting over it instead, 8 to 12 mil thick. Light marring sands and buffs back the way paint does.

    When you sell, it peels off in sheets and the factory paint is underneath, in the condition you bought it. No blend lines and no conversation about paintwork.

    How it is different

    Sprayed, so there is
    no edge to lift.

    A clear bra is cut from a roll and stuck down with adhesive, so it ends in an edge at every panel. Those edges collect road grime and eventually lift, and the glue underneath bakes onto your clearcoat over a few summers.

    Ours goes on as a liquid in a downdraft paint booth and cures into one continuous film. Nothing cut, nothing glued. It still peels off years later, it just does not fight you on the way out.

    Plan on the car being with us a few days. Correction, masking, spraying, curing, wet sanding and polishing each take real time.

    Frequently asked questions.

    What does paint protection cost?

    It depends on coverage, how much correction the paint needs first, and how complex the panels are. A front end sits well below a full car. Our pricing is published so you can see the range before you call.

    How far are you from Plymouth Meeting?

    About 28 miles northwest, roughly 40 minutes. We are at 449 B Old Reading Pike, Stowe, PA 19464. The car stays with us a few days, so it is one trip.

    Is the front end enough, or do I need the whole car?

    For a turnpike commuter the front end is usually where the money belongs. Bumper, hood edge, mirrors and the rockers behind the front wheels take almost all of it. We will tell you that rather than quote a full car by default.

    Does construction debris count as damage it stops?

    Loose stone and gravel from work zones is exactly what it is for. It will not stop a dropped ladder, but the constant small stuff that sands a nose down over a couple of years lands on the film instead.

    Do you cover Norristown, Blue Bell and Lafayette Hill?

    Yes. That whole side of the county is the same trip and those cars come through regularly.
