PPF Pricing Questions and Installation Rec's in Houston

windtendo · 11-01-2018, 05:11 PM

Anyone have a good place to recommend in Houston? I'm looking for ceramic coating and possibly PPF. I found a couple places, but the one that stands out also happens to be on the high side... $8200 for paint correction, full PPF, and ceramic treatment on interior and exterior. Seems high but the more I look at it, they're using possibly the best of everything in this process:

Funny you should mention them as that's who I was referring to. Found them just searching around google and instagram. I'm sure they do great work, but damn, $8200 is STEEP.

Did you go to them for your M5? What did you have them do? Any discounts available?

Will be trying Cavallo Auto Salon later this month. $1600/$2600 depending on if you have full clear bra or partial. No clear bra and I assume it's more - more paint correction/prep work before 2 coats of CQ Reserve I guess. Price is high but I like that way he documents his work.

That’s the other place my research has uncovered. Pretty good work he does! What is the $1600/2600 for, ceramic coating? The more I read about this Stek Dynoshield PPF the more I like about it...

basque76 · 11-07-2018, 03:17 PM

$1600 if your car has total ppf on already, $2600 if your car has front partial ppf, so includes prep work, paint correction and 2 coats of cquartz reserve. I assume more $$$ if you have no ppf on car. He does Suntek ppf install too, but I had already scheduled for supposedly thicker and clearer ClearGuard Nano from a different outfit, EVS Motors, since they were doing my tint. Will let you know if I am happy with them at end of week. A little worried as they use computer pre-cut kits, which I didn't realize until I got there. The other providers I looked at like Houston-PPF seem to be more free hand custom, but they never responded to my email or phone calls.

Congrats on the car! Hope to see it and meet sometime in the future! Looking forward to hearing about the results

Damn. I really like the Nardo.

I would highly recommend Cavallo Auto Saloon. Jason is very communicative and his shop is worth visiting. It's located in an a super car storage facility. He also snipped up some of the ppf was wasn't fully tacted on by my other installer before laying on the cquartz.
