Paint Protection Film

Impact zones shielded, invisible once cured.

What is paint protection film?

Paint protection film is a self-healing urethane applied to high-impact areas — leading edges, radome, belly strike zones — absorbing the rain erosion and debris strikes that destroy paint first. Patterns are cut to your aircraft, not a generic template.

HOW PRICING WORKS

Scoped to your airframe, confirmed by a person.

Paint Protection Film scales with aircraft class and condition, so we do not publish a sticker price. Use the AI calculator on the services page for an instant estimate, or send the booking request — our team reviews the aircraft and comes back to you with the final price before anything is scheduled. Nothing is ever charged without your approval.

WHAT THIS PROTECTS

Rain erosion and debris strike destroy leading-edge paint first. Film is far cheaper than the strip-and-repaint that follows if it is left unprotected.

Questions owners actually ask

Is film visible?
Not once cured, on a correctly prepared surface. Edges are placed on panel lines wherever the geometry allows.
Can film and ceramic be combined?
Yes, and it is the strongest combination available: film on the impact zones, ceramic over the whole airframe including the film.
