Paint Protection help

ShaneC · 2026-10-26T20:34:20-0500

Just got a 2027 Carbonized grey Platinum Tremor with 4,800 miles new title from the dealer (was a dealer demo) for a screaming deal. Has some small rock chips from normal wear and tear, but is in otherwise "new" shape.

Without repainting any panels, what is the best way to start from scratch in terms of trying to "paint correct" the small areas, and protect it going forward?

70% of my miles will likely be highway/turnpike, with obvious rock chip possibilities there.

Do I get a ceramic coat? PPF on the front? Haven't had a nice truck like this in long time.

Thanks

I put PPF on the hood and front fenders. They’re going to see the majority of projectiles. Entire truck was then ceramic coated

Never had a vehicle with PPF before, can you see the film or does it hide well?

thanks

Can’t even tell it’s there when the entire panel is done. The edges are hidden with fender/hood lines. The only issue was the SUPERDUTY on the hood. Installers said you can’t get PPF to form fit and look right so get the TUFSKINZ letters to fill those in.
