PPF near Tacoma.

EMWRAPS installs paint protection film (PPF) for Tacoma, WA vehicle owners: a clear, self-healing thermoplastic polyurethane film that guards paint against rock chips, scratches, bug acids and UV, from UNITY USA, STEK, SunTek and 3M, with manufacturer warranties of 7 to 10 years depending on the brand. Clear PPF starts from $1,200 for a partial front, $2,100 for full front and $6,000+ for full body; Color PPF starts from $6,800. Tacoma is about 45 to 55 minutes by car from our shop at 1900 Airport Way S #103, Seattle, routed from the city center, and it can run longer at rush hour.

PPF for Tacoma drivers.

From Tacoma, our SODO shop is a long run up I-5, so a PPF job is easiest to plan as one drop-off and one pickup. Full body film keeps the car with us longest, and a partial front is the quickest. While the car is here, the customer portal shows your ticket and progress photos and lets you message the crew working on it. Drop-offs start at 10:30am on weekdays, and weekend drop-off is by appointment. From Point Defiance, the Museum of Glass or the Stadium District, get on I-5 north and stay on it. Once the film is on, swirls from washing stay in its top coat and heal with heat instead of marking the paint. We also serve Lakewood, University Place, Fircrest and Puyallup.

Questions from Tacoma drivers.

How much does PPF cost near Tacoma?

PPF pricing at EMWRAPS depends on coverage area. Partial front starts from $1,200, full front from $2,100, track package from $2,800, and full body PPF from $6,000–$8,000+. We also offer Color PPF from $6,800+ for full body.

How do I get to EMWRAPS from Tacoma?

Take I-5 north nearly the whole way, through Fife, Federal Way and Tukwila; the shop is just off I-5 at 1900 Airport Way S #103 in SODO.

Can PPF be printed with a design?

Yes. Printable PPF is custom artwork printed on self-healing UNITY USA paint protection film, on a clear or white base with a gloss or Stealth matte top layer, so the graphic and the protection go on as one film.

Do you offer matte PPF?

Yes. Matte PPF keeps your paint color but converts the finish to satin, and we install STEK DYNOmatte, a true matte film.

Can ceramic coating go on top of PPF?

Yes, and it is the setup we recommend: PPF for physical protection, ceramic on top for gloss and easier washing. On a new full-body PPF install, the coating is the final step for $500.

Will Color PPF match across panels?

Yes. The film is ordered from the same lot and applied panel by panel with consistent edge wrapping.
