EMWRAPS changed the color of this Bentley Continental GT with full green color-shift Color PPF from UNITY USA at our Seattle shop in SODO. The door jambs were done in the same Color PPF, so the new color carries through when the doors open, and the wheels were powder-coated. The factory paint stays underneath the film, protected from rock chips, scratches and UV.

What did EMWRAPS do to the Continental GT?
The whole painted body of the Bentley went from its factory color to a green color-shift film, and the door jambs were done in the same Color PPF so the color is consistent inside the door openings too. On our Instagram post we asked followers to guess the name of the color.
A color-shift film changes tone as the light and viewing angle change, which suits a long, curved grand tourer like the Continental GT. Because the film is Color PPF rather than paint, the change is reversible and the original finish is still there under it.
What is Color PPF?
Color PPF is a colored, self-healing paint protection film. It changes the color of the car the way a vinyl wrap does, while protecting the paint the way clear PPF does.
PPF is a urethane film about 8 mil thick. It stops rock chips, scratches, bug acid and UV, and light scratches in the top coat heal with heat. Color PPF adds the color layer, so one install gives you a new look and paint protection at the same time. It can be removed without harming factory paint when it is taken off properly. See our Color PPF page for the films and finishes we offer.
Why wrap the door jambs?
Wrapping the door jambs hides the factory color inside the door openings. Without it, the old color shows every time a door opens, which gives away that the car has been color-changed.
The jambs are the painted edges and openings you only see with the doors open. On a full color change they are the detail that makes the new color look like it came from the factory. Door jambs are an add-on to a full color change, whether the car is in Color PPF or vinyl; ask about them on our vinyl wraps page or when you request a quote.
Color PPF, vinyl wrap or a repaint?
Color PPF is the choice when you want a new color and real paint protection in one layer. A vinyl wrap changes the color at a lower price, and a repaint replaces the factory finish for good.
- Color PPF: new color, self-healing protection against rock chips, removable. Manufacturer warranties run 7 to 10 years depending on the brand.
- Vinyl wrap: new color in 3M or Avery Dennison cast film, 5 to 7 years of durability, removable, but thinner than PPF and not built to stop rock chips.
- Repaint: permanent, and it replaces the original paint, which matters on a car where factory paint holds value.
For a Bentley, keeping the factory paint intact is often the deciding point. Read more in color change wrap vs paint job, and compare film makers in our PPF brand comparison.
What does Color PPF cost in Seattle?
Color PPF at EMWRAPS runs about $6,800 to $10,000+ for a full car. For comparison, clear full body PPF runs $6,000 to $8,000+, and a vinyl color change runs $3,500 to $5,500 depending on size.
The final price depends on the vehicle (size, shape, paint condition), and every job comes with a quote. Add-ons like door jambs are quoted with the main job. Ceramic coating over the film runs $500 to $800: the lower end as the last step of a new Color PPF install, the higher end on film already on a car, with a full detail and decontamination. See our PPF and ceramic bundle. Ceramic on top of PPF is the setup we recommend, and after install, wait 48 hours before the first hand wash with a pH-neutral shampoo.
Frequently asked questions
Can Color PPF go on a Bentley Continental GT?
Yes. Color PPF can cover every painted surface of a Bentley Continental GT, as on this car in green color-shift UNITY USA film. The film changes the color and protects the factory paint from rock chips, scratches, bug acid and UV. Door jambs can be wrapped as well so the new color shows inside the door openings.
Is Color PPF removable?
Yes. Color PPF can be removed without harming factory paint when it is taken off properly. The car goes back to its original color, and the paint underneath has been protected the whole time. That makes Color PPF a reversible alternative to a repaint on cars where the factory finish matters.
Do I need door jambs wrapped with a color change?
Door jambs are optional, but most owners of a full color change want them. Without wrapped jambs, the factory color shows every time a door opens. Wrapping the jambs makes the color change look complete. EMWRAPS quotes door jambs together with the full Color PPF or vinyl job.
