2024 Ford Raptor Paint Protection Film Installation

Full Paint Protection Film Package for Ford Raptor & Ceramic Window Tint

Looking to preserve the look and longevity of your vehicle in Church Falls, VA? Our latest project highlights why Paint Protection Film (PPF) is the gold standard for automotive care—especially when your ride is as versatile and valuable as a new Ford Raptor. This Raptor came to us in excellent mechanical shape, with low mileage, but was covered in grime from a recent snowstorm. The owner, an avid hunter and camper who also commutes daily, needed serious protection without compromising looks. We delivered a comprehensive solution: a full-body application of STEK DynoShield PPF, STEK ceramic window tint for UV defense and comfort, a full Essential Interior Detail, and rear wheel liner installation to shield against debris.

Incredible SHINE with Ultimate PAINT PROTECTION

The deep green paint on the Ford Raptor truly came to life after the PPF installation—enhanced with a high-gloss finish that turned heads in Falls Church, VA. The STEK DynoShield not only amplified the shine but also added a tough, self-healing layer of protection against scratches, rock chips, and trail debris. Whether parked in town or out in the woods, the Raptor now boasts a mirror-like gloss with long-term defense that keeps it looking freshly detailed day after day.

Step-by-Step PPF Installation Process for the Ford Raptor:

  • Initial Inspection & Prep
    We inspected the paint for imperfections and thoroughly cleaned the exterior to remove dirt, salt, and road grime.

 

  • Paint Decontamination
    We performed a clay bar treatment and light polish where needed to ensure a smooth, contaminant-free surface for proper film adhesion.

 

  • Custom Film Plotting & Cutting
    Using precision software and plotters, we cut the STEK DynoShield PPF to fit the Ford Raptor’s body panels exactly—no blades on the paint.

 

  • Application with Slip Solution
    Each piece of film was carefully applied using a slip solution, allowing for exact placement and alignment on curves, edges, and body lines.

 

  • Squeegee & Heat Sealing
    We used squeegees to remove all moisture and air bubbles, then heat-sealed the edges for a seamless, long-lasting bond.

 

  • Final Inspection & Curing
    We inspected the entire vehicle for any flaws or lifting edges, then let the film cure properly before returning the truck to the owner.
