🛡️ We Removed Old PPF and Installed Paint Protection Film in an All-Custom Job on This 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty in Killeen, TX 🛡️

The 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty is a powerhouse, built for towing, hauling, and handling tough jobs with ease. But even a truck this rugged isn’t immune to paint damage from road debris, harsh weather, and years of wear and tear.

This F-350 owner in Killeen, TX had an aging, discolored Paint Protection Film (PPF) that had served its time but needed to go. Instead of leaving the truck vulnerable to scratches, rock chips, and UV damage, they brought it to Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings for a full PPF removal and a brand-new, all-custom paint protection film installation. Now, their truck not only looks refreshed but is fully shielded for years to come!

🚗 Why Remove Old PPF & Install a Custom Paint Protection Film? 🚗

PPF is designed to protect your vehicle’s paint from road hazards, but like anything, it has a lifespan. Over time, low-quality film can yellow, crack, or peel, making the truck look worse instead of better.

This F-350’s existing PPF was aged and discolored, and the owner wanted a fresh start with a better, more durable film. That’s where our custom PPF application came in, delivering seamless protection that looks factory-fresh.

✅ Signs It’s Time to Remove & Replace PPF:

✔ Yellowing & Discoloration – Old films can turn yellow due to UV exposure, making the truck look aged.

✔ Peeling or Bubbling – If PPF starts lifting around the edges or forming air bubbles, it’s time for a replacement.

✔ Cracking & Dry Spots – Over time, PPF loses flexibility, leading to visible cracks that diminish protection.

✔ Dirt & Stains Embedded in Film – When film loses its hydrophobic properties, dirt and grime become trapped beneath it.

✔ Low-Quality or Improperly Installed Film – Cheap PPF doesn’t last, and improperly installed film can leave visible seams and edges.



🚨 In this case, the F-350 had multiple areas where the old film was cracking and peeling, so a full removal and custom installation were the best solutions!
