2021 Dodge Durango SRT PPF
2021 Dodge Durango SRT PPF process in Copperas Cove/Killeen/Harker Heights
When was the last time you saw us doing PPF on a Durango? Well, it’s been about a year and a half! Just like our Durango we had a year and a half ago, this 2021 Dodge Durango SRT PPF project is getting a full front as well (hood, fenders, mirrors, and front bumper)! Our Copperas Cove/Killeen/Harker Heights client contacted us when he bought this new-to-him 2021 Dodge Durango SRT with only 10k or so miles on the clock. He is a soldier stationed in El Paso, but his family lives here – so he’s looking to protect his paint with all these highway miles he puts on the vehicle. He was in a bit of a time crunch as he was leaving quickly after buying it, so we snuck him in and got him taken care of!
After we finished this 2021 Dodge Durango SRT PPF project, we sent him over to our partners at Texas Elite Tint in Killeen for ceramic window tint. This 2021 Dodge Durango SRT PPF project received our Autobahn ( @autobahnperformancefilms2203 ) paint protection film (PPF, clear bra) which carries a no-hassle, true lifetime warranty. Autobahn Incognito PPF is extremely glossy, hydrophobic, and installs really well. The Dodge Durango SRT has a “fun” hood with multiple vents, which sometimes can cause a challenge. Fortunately, Dodge re-uses a lot of their hoods and we have done many similar hoods, so doing only two Durangos in the last 18 months does not mean we lacked experience on these types of hoods.

Moreover, there are minimal differences between major film manufacturers like Autobahn, Xpel, SunTek, Eastman, Llumar, 3M, STEK clear bra, Flexishield, Global, Legend, and more. Importantly, the key takeaway is that the primary differences are in the properties of the adhesive, which installers have to deal with, but generally don’t affect anything the client sees.

Applying Paint Protection Film (PPF) to your Dodge Durango SRT offers several important advantages that help protect your vehicle’s appearance, maintain its value, and minimize the potential for damage. Here’s why installing PPF on your Dodge Durango SRT can be beneficial:
Protection from Road Debris: The Dodge Durango SRT is a performance-oriented SUV that may see spirited driving. PPF acts as a barrier against rocks, stones, gravel, and other debris that can cause chips, scratches, and dings on the vehicle’s paint and bodywork.
Preservation of Aesthetics: The SRT variant of the Durango often features unique styling cues, aggressive design elements, and distinct paint options. PPF helps maintain the pristine appearance of these features, preventing damage and wear that can occur over time.
Prevention of UV Damage: PPF contains UV inhibitors that shield the paint from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. This protection helps prevent fading, discoloration, and deterioration of the paint finish.
Environmental Contaminant Defense: PPF guards against environmental contaminants such as bird droppings, tree sap, insect acids, and pollutants. These substances can quickly damage paint if left untreated, and PPF provides a protective barrier.
Scratch and Swirl Mark Resistance: PPF has self-healing properties that allow minor scratches and swirl marks to disappear over time when exposed to heat. This helps keep the paint surface looking smooth and unblemished.
Enhanced Resale Value: A well-maintained exterior, thanks to PPF, can contribute to a higher resale value when you decide to sell or trade in your Dodge Durango SRT. Prospective buyers will appreciate the vehicle’s excellent condition.
Long-Term Cost Savings: While the initial investment in PPF may seem significant, it can save you money in the long run by reducing the need for frequent paint repairs, touch-ups, and potential repainting.
Customized Coverage: PPF can be applied to specific areas of your Durango SRT, such as the front bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors, and other high-impact areas. You can customize the coverage based on your preferences and driving habits.
Ease of Maintenance: PPF provides a smooth, hydrophobic surface that repels water, dirt, and grime. This makes cleaning and maintaining your Dodge Durango SRT easier and less time-consuming.
Protection for Performance Vehicles: The Durango SRT is designed for performance and spirited driving. PPF helps protect the vehicle’s exterior from the rigors of high-speed driving, aggressive maneuvers, and exposure to various driving conditions.
To ensure the best results, choose a reputable and experienced installer who uses high-quality PPF materials. Their expertise will ensure proper application, fitment, and coverage for your Dodge Durango SRT, maximizing the protective benefits of the film.
