Essentially, smaller vehicles with smaller panels and less surface area require less material—which means a lower price to a client. On the other hand, a larger vehicle with more surface area tends to have a higher cost. Some makes and models have larger panels require the use of larger rolls of ppf. These larger rolls cost more to aquire and store...
Like most things in life, you get what you pay for. The actual brand of vinyl PPF used will definitely affect the final cost. A shop or installer that uses a high end PPF will be backed by manufacturers warranties and will be rated higher in looks and quality. It will lay cleaner and last longer.

It’s worth noting, if touch up is applied to paint damage, it is typically still very visible after ...
