Your vehicle's paint is exposed to potential damage every time you drive.Road debris can cause rock chips and impact marks, while Texas sunlight and UV exposure can contribute to fading and oxidation. Pollen, tree sap, bird droppings, bugs, and road film can also accumulate on the surface and affect an unprotected finish.

Our professional PPF installations provide a nearly invisible layer of protection between your vehicle’s paint and the road.
The film is designed to help absorb impacts from rocks and road debris while its self-healing top layer can minimize the appearance of light surface swirls.
Available finishes include clear gloss for a factory-style appearance and satin for a more distinctive finish.
Track Pack
Focused protection for high-impact areas, including the front end, A-pillars, and rocker areas.
Full Front End
Comprehensive protection for the bumper, hood, front fenders, mirrors, and lamps.
Full Vehicle
Maximum coverage across the vehicle’s painted surfaces for drivers who want comprehensive paint protection.

Ceramic coating provides a durable protective layer that bonds to the vehicle’s paint and enhances the finish with deep gloss and hydrophobic performance.
The benefits include:
Proper surface preparation is an important part of the process. Paint correction is performed before coating when necessary to ensure the paint is properly prepared before the ceramic coating is installed.
Our ceramic coating installation carries a 5-year warranty.

Luxury and performance vehicles deserve careful attention to both appearance and long-term preservation.
Shield By Design works with a wide range of vehicles, including daily drivers, SUVs, luxury vehicles, performance cars, and exotic vehicles. Our current portfolio includes vehicles such as McLaren, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, and Bentley.

Whether you need targeted front-end protection or full-vehicle PPF, we’ll help determine the coverage that makes sense for your vehicle.
Richardson vehicles experience the same demanding North Texas conditions that can affect automotive paint throughout the DFW area.
Strong sunlight and UV exposure can contribute to fading and oxidation. Highway driving and road debris can expose painted surfaces to rocks and other impacts. Pollen, tree sap, bugs, bird droppings, and road film can also accumulate on the vehicle.
PPF provides a physical layer between these hazards and the underlying paint.
Ceramic coating adds a protective surface layer that helps repel water and contaminants while making routine washing easier.
Together, these technologies can help maintain your vehicle’s gloss while making ongoing exterior care more manageable.

Call, text, or message us. We discuss your vehicle, driving habits, coverage goals, and budget, then recommend the right package.
We perfect the surface - removing swirls and imperfections so the film or coating bonds to a flawless foundation.
Technicians hand-cut and apply every panel with meticulous care. Film edges are wrapped where appropriate. Coating is leveled for uniform coverage and optical clarity.
You leave with a factory-level finish backed by our industry-leading warranties. Maintenance guidance is provided so the protection continues performing for years.
Our Richardson-area vehicle protection service is designed for:
Whether you’re protecting a new purchase or maintaining a vehicle you’ve owned for years, we can help determine the appropriate level of PPF and ceramic protection.
PPF can be useful for drivers who want physical protection against road debris, rock chips, and light surface damage. Ceramic coating does not provide the same type of impact protection.
Ceramic coating creates a protective layer over the paint that enhances gloss and provides hydrophobic properties and resistance against UV exposure, chemicals, and environmental contaminants.
Absolutely. We recommend it. Apply ceramic over properly installed PPF for the best of both: impact protection plus enhanced gloss, chemical resistance, and easier cleaning.
No. Ceramic coating is not designed to stop rock chips or significant physical impacts. PPF is the appropriate protection for areas exposed to road debris.
Color PPF options are available as part of Shield By Design's PPF services. Available colors and finishes should be confirmed during your consultation.
The installation timeline depends on the vehicle's size and condition and the amount of paint preparation required. Shield By Design's current ceramic coating information states that most installations take approximately 2–3 days, including preparation, correction, coating application, and curing.
15 years on our premium PPF against yellowing, delamination, and defects. 5 years on ceramic coating. Proper care instructions are provided.
