Paint Protection Film Pricing at Executive Tint: Packages, Starting Costs & Options

What does PPF cost at Executive Tint?

Our three starting points make it easier to plan your protection before you visit: partial front around $750, full front around $1,700, and full vehicle around $6,000. Start with the paint you want covered, then let us tailor the package to your actual car, truck or SUV.

This guide focuses on Executive Tint’s pricing in Houston, rather than a market-wide price range. The starting amounts are a planning reference; a vehicle-specific quote confirms your chosen film, panels, preparation and final cost.

Partial front: focused protection, starting around $750

Partial front covers the front bumper and leading sections of the hood and front fenders. It gives everyday drivers a focused way to protect exposed front-end paint against stone chips and light abrasions.

Because only part of the hood is covered, a film boundary remains across it. We show you the coverage line and discuss any additional areas you want protected. Mirror caps, headlights and other details are confirmed in your quote rather than assumed.

Full front: broader freeway coverage, starting around $1,700

Full front covers the complete hood, front fenders, front bumper and mirror caps. The entire hood is covered, so there is no partial-coverage line across it.

For a vehicle spending time on I-10, Beltway 8 or the Grand Parkway, this is a useful package to discuss: more of the forward-facing painted panels receive protection. Headlight coverage and other extras are confirmed for your selected package.

Full vehicle: protect beyond the front end, starting around $6,000

Full vehicle extends film across painted panels, including doors, rockers, rear quarters, roof pillars and the rear bumper. It suits owners who want broader finish preservation—whether that is a family SUV, a daily-driven luxury car or a weekend sports car.

We confirm the painted areas, edge treatment and any separate glass, light or trim options on your vehicle. PPF helps resist chips and light surface abrasions; it is not a guarantee against every impact or dent. The goal is thoughtful coverage that keeps more everyday wear on the film instead of directly on the paint.

Why can a Tesla and a Porsche 911 have different quotes?

A package name does not mean every installation takes the same amount of work. Vehicle size, panel shape and access all matter.

Think of a broad hood on a Tesla compared with a sculpted Corvette front bumper or a Porsche 911 with detailed curves and openings. Those are examples—not fixed pricing categories. Your model, year, trim and actual bodywork determine the installation plan. Larger panels need more film; tight curves and complex edges can require additional pattern adjustments and installation time.

Tell us about aftermarket bumpers, splitters, body kits or previous paint repairs, too. We build the quote around your vehicle rather than make you guess from another owner’s package.

Small coverage additions that fit your routine

The right extras depend on where your vehicle takes wear:

• Headlights and suitable fog lights: discuss lens coverage where road debris reaches them.
• A-pillars and the roof’s leading edge: consider exposed painted areas beyond the hood.
• Rocker panels and lower doors: add coverage where the wheels throw road grit.
• Door cups and edges: protect everyday entry-and-exit contact zones.
• Rear bumper loading area: useful for strollers, suitcases or golf bags passing over the painted loading edge.

These additions can change the cost. We identify which are already included and quote the extras you want—there is no assumed add-on price in this guide. See our door and rocker protection guide for those everyday contact areas.

Film choice and paint preparation matter

Our premium clear-film focus is 3M Series 150. Compare it with Series 100 and explore finish options on our paint protection film page. Film and finish selection are part of your custom quote; these starting amounts do not promise every film or finish at the same price.

New deliveries can still have transport residue, contamination or light wash marks. Used vehicles may need more preparation. We inspect the finish, discuss cleaning and decontamination, and recommend suitable polishing or additional preparation where needed. Existing chips or deeper damage need their own assessment—film does not repair them. Matte and satin finishes have a different preparation approach from gloss paint.

Our team explains the work before installation so the finished protection starts with the right foundation.

How long should you plan to leave the vehicle?

Typical installation time is 3–4 hours for partial front, one day for full front, and 3–5 days for full vehicle. Additional preparation, coverage and vehicle complexity can affect timing. We confirm your handover plan with the quote.
