How Much Does Paint Protection Film Cost in North Carolina? (2026 Guide for Raleigh, Fuquay, Holly Springs & Beyond)

If you’re researching Paint Protection Film (PPF) in the Raleigh area, you’ll notice something fast: prices are all over the place. One shop says $900, another says $2,000… and somehow both are quoting a “front end.” Why? Because not all PPF is created equally, and not all installs are done to the same standard. What is even included in a "front end"? Many companies only include front bumper an partial pieces. As one of North Carolina’s highest-rated paint protection studios, Perfect Finish is here to break down the real cost of PPF in 2026 — so you can protect your vehicle with confidence and clarity.

Why PPF Prices Vary So Much

1. Film Brand & Warranty

Premium brands like SunTek, STEK, and Geoshield offer self-healing, stain-resistant, long-warranty films. Cheap films = yellowing, peeling, and edges lifting.

2. Installer Skill Level

Perfect Finish uses:

  • Proper decontamination & prep
  • Advanced pattern modification software
  • Full coverage edge-wrapping
  • Seamless hood / fender installs
  • Hybrid Bulk Installations

Poor install = visible seams, dirt under film, fingers, lifting.

3. Vehicle Shape

A Tesla Y ≠ a Corvette ≠ a G-Wagon. Complexity affects time and cost.

Additionally, some vehicles have accent pieces on their grille areas that will increase the overall price of the installation. These pieces are intricate and often do not have computer plots. Our experienced and certified installers have the ability to "bulk" and hand cut these areas to ensure complete front end protection.
