Quick Answer
In Toronto and the GTA, paint protection film (PPF) costs:
Partial front: $800–$1,500
Full front: $1,800–$3,500
Front + extras: $2,500–$4,500
Full body: $5,500–$9,500+

What Drives PPF Pricing?
Four factors determine what you'll pay:
1. Coverage Area
The more square footage of film, the more you pay. Square footage scales with the panels covered:
Partial front (~25 sq ft): bumper, hood leading edge
Full front (~50–60 sq ft): full bumper, full hood, fenders, mirrors, A-pillars
Front + extras (~70–80 sq ft): adds headlights, door cups, rocker panels
Full body (~150–200 sq ft): entire vehicle
2. Vehicle Size
A Honda Civic and a Ford F-150 are not priced the same. Approximate adjustments:
Sedan / Coupe: baseline pricing
SUV / Crossover: +15–25%
Pickup truck: +25–40%
Full-size SUV / van / exotic: +30–50%
3. Film Grade
Three tiers in the Toronto market:

Expert PPF, ceramic coating, wraps, and detailing — serving all of Greater Toronto from our Etobicoke shop.
Economy / generic PPF: $5–$8 per sq ft installed. Often no warranty or 3–5 years. Tends to yellow within 2 years.
Mid-tier branded PPF (3M, SunTek): $9–$13 per sq ft. 10-year warranty. Solid performance.
Premium PPF (XPEL Ultimate Plus, XPEL Stealth): $13–$18 per sq ft. 10-year warranty, self-healing, best clarity. Stealth (matte) costs 20% more than gloss.
4. Installation Complexity
Vehicles with complex curves, deep recesses, or unusual shapes (Tesla Cybertruck, Porsche 911 GT3, exotic supercars) take longer to wrap and command premium pricing.

Generic PPF: yellows in 2–3 years, no warranty, cost to redo: $1,500–$2,500
