About this build

This Ferrari 458 Spider came through our Los Angeles studio as a mid-engine supercar build — low-volume body panels mean every cut line gets verified against the factory shut-line before the film hits the surface. Multi-service builds are sequenced deliberately — one finish has to fully cure before the next one goes on top, so the schedule reflects that order.

A 2013 458 Spider that came in for full-body clear PPF with a custom racing stripe layout — satin silver center bands bordered by gloss black outlines, running hood through deck. The stripe specification took as much planning as the PPF itself: each band had to follow the Ferrari's longitudinal curvature without breaking line over the engine cover or air intakes. We installed full-body clear film first, then layered the stripe films on top so the protection extends to 100% of painted surfaces underneath the design. A ceramic coating finished the work, adding hydrophobic behavior across both the clear and decorative films.

What we used on this Ferrari

Premium 8 mil PPF — self-healing urethane with a ceramic-infused topcoat. Matte, gloss, and colour variants available; plotter-cut from a digital pattern for the exact body panel.
Professional SiO₂ ceramic coating — 9H surface hardness, hydrophobic, multi-year durability when paired with our prep wash and clay-bar decontamination.

Why these finishes were combined

Ferrari builds with several finishes work when each layer is planned in sequence: PPF stops the impact and chemical hits, ceramic coating sits on top so washing the car takes a fraction of the time and grime does not bake in.

What to expect after the install

PPF cure window: avoid pressure-washing the wrapped panels for the first 7 days. Hand-wash only for the first 30 days. Properly cared for, the film holds its self-healing properties for 8–10 years.
Ceramic coating maintenance: first wash at 7 days, then a regular pH-neutral wash every 2–3 weeks keeps the hydrophobic layer active for the rated lifespan.

Every Ferrari build at our Los Angeles studio includes a written aftercare brief and direct text-line access to the installer for the first month. Questions about your specific build — get a quote or call (424) 207-4435.
