Paint Protection Film (PPF) in Dubai
Self-healing film that takes the stone chips, the sand and the car park scratches so your factory paint does not have to. Fitted in Al Garhoud, seven days a week.
- Our Promise
Paint protection film is a clear urethane layer, usually between 150 and 200 microns thick, bonded over your car’s factory paint. It is the only protection product that stops physical damage. A stone thrown up on Sheikh Zayed Road hits the film instead of the clear coat. A trolley in a mall basement leaves a mark on the film that closes itself the next time the panel warms in the sun.
Why Dubai is harder on paint than almost anywhere
Paint here fails in a specific order, and it is not the order most owners expect.
PPF or ceramic coating? The honest answer
They solve different problems and the industry blurs the line because both are sold as “protection”.
Coverage packages we fit
| Package | Panels Covered | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Front End | Full front bumper, bonnet leading edge, mirror caps, headlights | Daily drivers on highway commutes. Covers roughly 90 percent of real chip damage for the lowest cost. |
| Full Front | Full bonnet, full front bumper, full front fenders, mirrors, headlights, A-pillars | Dark or metallic paint where a chip line across the bonnet would be obvious. |
| Full Body | Every painted exterior panel | New, leased or high-value cars, and anything you intend to resell with original paint. |
| High-Wear Kit | Door cups, door edges, sills, boot loading lip, rear arch behind the wheel | Add-on to any package. Cheap, and it covers the damage that actually shows on inspection. |
| Track and Off-Road Pack | Full front plus rocker panels, rear arches and lower doors | Desert and gravel use, where damage comes from below rather than head on. |
Finishes: gloss, matte and coloured film
Standard PPF is optically clear and adds gloss. Matte PPF converts a gloss car to a satin finish without touching the paint underneath, which is the reversible way to get a matte look and the reason it has become the popular choice over a matte respray.
How we fit it
The work before the film goes on matters more than the film itself, because whatever is on the paint gets sealed under it for years.
What it costs in Dubai
PPF pricing in Dubai is driven by three things: how much of the car you are covering, the size and shape of the panels, and the film brand and warranty.
Living with PPF
- Wait seven days before the first wash so the adhesive fully sets.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on coverage and vehicle size, not on a fixed price list. A front-end kit on a saloon and a full-body wrap on a large SUV are different amounts of film and very different amounts of labour. Send CarBros your make, model and year on WhatsApp and you will get a real quote before visiting.
Quality film carries a manufacturer warranty of five to ten years against yellowing, cracking and delamination. In Dubai conditions, expect real-world life at the lower end of that range for horizontal panels like the bonnet and roof, which take the most direct UV, and the upper end for vertical panels.
Not when the film is in good condition and removed with heat by someone who has done it before. That is exactly why film is popular on leased and resale cars: it comes off and the original paint underneath is in the condition it was on the day it went on. Film left far past its life, or cheap film that has hardened, is harder to remove and is where removal problems come from.
They do different jobs. PPF is physical and stops stone chips and scratches. Ceramic coating is chemical and stops staining, water spotting and UV dulling while making the car easier to clean. Neither replaces the other. The most common sensible setup is film on the front end and coating over the whole car.
Yes, but the paint must be fully cured first, which usually means waiting at least 30 days after a respray. Fresh paint is still off-gassing and film applied too early can trap solvent and cause bubbling. We check paint depth on arrival and will tell you if a panel is not ready.
A front-end kit is typically one day. A full front is one to two days. Full body is three to five days depending on the vehicle and how much paint correction is needed first. The car then stays indoors to cure and should not be washed for a week.
Yes. Matte film converts a gloss car to satin without respraying, and it protects the paint at the same time. It is fully reversible, which is why it has largely replaced matte respray for owners who want the look but not the permanent commitment.
