PPF Pricing Overview
PPF pricing in Dubai varies based on several factors: the amount of coverage, your vehicle's size and complexity, the brand of film used, and whether paint correction is needed before installation.
Here's a general guide to help you budget. For exact pricing on your specific vehicle, contact us for a free consultation and quote.
Full Body PPF Cost
Full body PPF covers every painted surface of your vehicle from bumper to bumper. This provides maximum protection and is the most popular choice for new and high-value vehicles.
Full body clear PPF starts from AED 6,500 for standard sedans and SUVs. Larger vehicles (full-size SUVs, trucks) and exotic/supercars typically cost more due to additional surface area and installation complexity.
The price includes surface preparation (wash, decontamination, clay bar), computer-cut film for your exact model, professional installation, and a 10-year manufacturer warranty.
Partial PPF Cost
Partial PPF targets the highest-impact areas — typically the front end of the vehicle. This is a cost-effective option for drivers who want protection where it matters most.
Full front packages (hood, front bumper, fenders, headlights) are the most popular partial option. Pricing varies by vehicle — contact us for a tailored quote.
Other partial options include hood-only, bumper-only, door edge protection, mirror caps, and rocker panels. Each can be quoted individually, and you can always add more coverage later.
Color PPF Cost
Color PPF costs more than clear PPF because the coloured films are more expensive to manufacture. Full body color PPF starts from AED 7,000 for standard vehicles.
Color PPF is available in matte, satin, and gloss finishes across a wide range of colours. Popular choices include matte black, satin grey, and matte military green.
The premium over clear PPF is justified by the dual benefit: you get both a colour change and genuine paint protection with self-healing technology. Compare this to a vinyl wrap (from AED 6,600) which offers colour change but not the same level of protection or durability.
Ceramic Coating Cost
Ceramic coating is often combined with PPF for maximum protection. Standalone ceramic coating starts from AED 749 for a sedan with a 3-year coating.
Higher-tier coatings (5-year, 7-year) cost more but provide longer-lasting hydrophobic and UV protection. The preparation work (paint correction, polishing) is often the most labour-intensive part and can add to the cost if your paint needs significant correction.
When combined with PPF, the ceramic coating is applied over the film. This combination package offers the best value for complete protection.
What Affects PPF Pricing?
Several factors influence the final price of your PPF installation.
Vehicle size — Larger vehicles have more surface area to cover, requiring more film and more installation time.
Vehicle complexity — Cars with aggressive body lines, vents, scoops, and complex curves take longer to wrap and require more skill.
Paint condition — If your paint needs correction (removing scratches, swirl marks) before PPF application, this adds to the cost. New cars typically don't need correction.
Film brand and type — Premium films cost more per metre but offer better performance and longer warranties.
Coverage area — Full body vs partial. More coverage = higher cost but better protection.
Is Cheaper PPF a Good Idea?
The Dubai PPF market has options at every price point. While budget-friendly options exist, we strongly advise against choosing a PPF installer solely based on price.
Cheaper PPF shops typically cut costs in one of three ways: using inferior film that yellows and fails quickly, employing untrained installers, or skipping proper surface preparation. All three lead to poor results.
A quality PPF installation should cost enough to cover premium film, trained technicians, a proper facility, and thorough preparation. When the film is on your car for 7–10 years, the difference between a AED 4,000 and AED 7,000 installation is negligible per year — but the quality difference is significant.
