Paint Protection Film for Pearland Drivers
Pearland's road into town is 288. It runs straight north into downtown, and between the toll lanes and the main lanes it's fast driving. 288 is also a construction corridor, and construction means gravel. Paint protection film (PPF) is a clear film over the paint that takes those hits on the front of the car.
A lot of what we see from Pearland is trucks and family SUVs, parked in suburban garages at night. So the paint is safe at home. The damage happens on 288, mostly to the bumper, the hood and the mirrors, and that's where the film should go. The Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8) adds more fast miles for anyone heading east or west.
What Pearland does to your paint
288 gravel. Work zones leave gravel and grit on the lanes and shoulders. At freeway speed, even a small stone can break through clear coat. Film absorbs the hit instead, and the paint underneath stays as it was.
Speed, not distance. A Pearland run into town isn't long, but how hard a stone hits depends on how fast you're going. The 288 toll lanes keep moving even when the main lanes back up, and it only takes one stone at speed.
Big fronts. Trucks and SUVs put a tall grille and bumper straight into the debris stream. There's more surface to protect and more surface to get hit, which is why size moves the price. A midsize sedan and a full-size truck are different jobs.
What it costs
Partial front is from $995 and covers the full front bumper, part of the hood and fenders, the side mirrors and the headlights. Full front is from $1,300 and covers the full hood, full fenders, front bumper, side mirrors and headlights. If you're on 288 every day, full front is the one we'd suggest, since at speed the whole hood takes hits. Trucks and larger SUVs quote above the starting price.
The films are Inozetek inoCLEAR, our standard, and inoCLEAR+, a premium grade that self-heals light swirls. Coverage diagrams are on the PPF page. Full front vs full body helps if you're deciding how far to go, and is PPF worth it runs the math. Send photos through the quote form for your number.

Pearland FAQ
My drive on 288 is short. Can it really chip my paint?
Yes. It's the speed that does it. A stone kicked up at freeway speed can chip bare paint in the first week you own the car.
Will I be able to see the film?
Not from normal distance. Gloss film is close to invisible on paint. Up close you can find the edges, and partial front has an edge across the hood. Full front has no edge on the hood at all.
What happens when a rock hits the film?
The film takes the hit and the paint under it stays intact. If a section of film gets badly marked, it can be replaced without touching the paint.
