Frequently asked questions about Paint Protection Film.
-
What is Paint Protection Film (PPF), also known as Clear Bra?
Paint Protection Film (PPF), commonly called Clear Bra, is a transparent, durable film applied to a vehicle’s painted surfaces to protect against damage.
It helps prevent:
- Scratches, chips, and stains
- Damage from road debris such as rocks, sand, bugs, salt, and keys
- UV-related fading and discolouration over time
Modern PPF features self-healing technology: minor scratches and swirl marks can disappear when heat is applied to the film surface. The film is virtually invisible, easy to maintain, and helps keep your car looking newer for longer. Whether your vehicle is new or used, installing PPF is a smart way to protect your investment.
-
How much does 3M™ Paint Protection Film (PPF) cost in India?
The average cost of 3M™ Paint Protection Film (PPF) installation in India typically ranges from approximately INR 20,000 to INR 250,000 depending on the vehicle size, film type and coverage. Key factors include:
- Vehicle size: larger vehicles typically require more film and labour
- Coverage level: options range from partial coverage (e.g., front bumper) to full-body protection
- Type of film: premium films with advanced features (e.g., hydrophobic coating) may cost more
There’s no fixed price for professional PPF installation, as quotes are tailored to your vehicle and preferences. For an accurate estimate, use the 3M Auto Films Locator tool to find an authorised 3M PPF installer near you. Our experts can recommend the best solution based on your needs and budget.
-
How long does it take to install Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
Installation time for 3M™ Paint Protection Film (PPF) ranges from a few hours to 2–3 days, depending on coverage and vehicle type.
- Basic wear-and-tear package (side mirrors, door edges, door cups, trunk ledge): typically a few hours
- Full-body PPF: usually 2 to 3 days
Timing can vary based on vehicle size, film selection, and installer availability. For an accurate estimate, contact your local authorised 3M PPF installer. Once you share your vehicle details and coverage preferences, they can provide a personalised timeline.
-
Can I install Paint Protection Film (PPF) myself?
It’s technically possible to install clear PPF yourself, but professional installation is strongly recommended for optimal quality, durability, and appearance. Improper installation can lead to:
- Bubbling
- Misalignment
- Reduced protection
3M™ PPF should be installed by a trained and certified 3M authorised installer. They can guide you on coverage options, pricing, and maintenance, and ensure a high-quality finish. For best results and warranty eligibility, professional installation is required.
Use the 3M Auto Films Locator tool to find a certified installer near you and get personalised advice for your vehicle.
-
Can Paint Protection Film (PPF) be installed over Ceramic Coating?
Short answer: No. PPF should not be applied over an existing ceramic coating. For proper adhesion and long-term durability, the ceramic coating must be professionally removed before installing PPF.
After the PPF is installed, you can apply 3M™ Ceramic Coating on top to enhance gloss, hydrophobicity, and ease of maintenance. This combination delivers both physical protection and surface enhancement.
For details and to confirm compatibility with your vehicle, contact your local authorised 3M PPF installer.
