The short answer
Paint protection film (PPF) is a clear, self-healing urethane film applied over your paint to absorb rock chips, scratches, and road debris. Tint Chattanooga installs PPF in four coverage levels, from partial front to full body, with precision-cut patterns and wrapped edges.

Coverage advice
Partial coverage leaves a visible line across the hood and fenders, and chips still land just behind it. Full front has no line on the hood and protects the whole impact zone. For most new vehicles it's the coverage we recommend.
That's why every PPF install starts with a full wash and decontamination. If the paint has swirls or scratches, we recommend paint correction first so the film seals in a flawless finish.
How we install
01
Walk the car with you and note any existing chips or damage.
02
Wash, decontaminate, and correct paint if needed.
03
Patterns cut for your exact vehicle, with edges wrapped where the panel allows.
04
Film is laid, squeegeed, and heat-set. We inspect again after the cure.
PPF is physical armor. Ceramic coating is a slick, glossy layer that makes washing easy. Get PPF on the impact zones and ceramic over the entire vehicle, including on top of the film.
Build My Protection PackageIt depends on coverage and vehicle size. Partial front is the entry point; full front is the most popular. Text photos of your vehicle for an exact quote.
Yes. The topcoat re-flows with heat, so light swirls and scuffs disappear in the sun or with warm water. Deep impacts are absorbed by the film instead of your paint.
Quality film professionally installed typically lasts about 10 years with normal care. We'll cover exact warranty terms at your quote.
Modern gloss film is nearly invisible. You might spot an edge up close, but from a few feet away it just looks like perfect paint.
No. Professionally installed and removed film comes off factory paint cleanly.
Front packages usually take 1–2 days, full body 3–5 days, including prep and cure. [confirm]
Wait about a week before the first wash. Then hand-wash normally; avoid pressure-washing the edges up close.
Yes, for leases it can help avoid excess-wear charges on the front end. On used cars, correct the paint first so the film protects a clean finish.
