How a few of these cars were done, start to finish. Every story has the full video.
White to black shows every mistake, so the door shuts, sills and interior trim were done too. Open any door and you will not find white.
Two very different shapes taken to the same Nardo Grey. Every panel cut for each car, with the edges wrapped into the gaps so no old colour shows.
Flat stainless panels show every bubble and line. Large sheets, laid by the team in one go, and the door shuts finished so no steel shows when you open up.
A deep metallic green with real flake in it. Doors, shuts and the front boot were done, so the car looks like it left the factory this colour.
A colour change only looks factory when the prep, the cutting and the edges are right. This is how we do every car.
Every panel washed, decontaminated and checked under strong light. Film seals in whatever is underneath, so marks are corrected first.
Film is cut on our plotter from patterns for your exact car, then checked panel by panel before it touches the paint.
Each panel fitted by hand, with the edges wrapped into gaps, recesses and intakes so no original colour shows.
The car rests while the film settles, then every edge is checked again under several lights before handover.
Colour PPF (colour change paint protection film) is a thick, self-healing urethane film with the colour built in. It changes the colour of your car and protects the paint from stone chips, scratches and sun at the same time, and it can be removed later to bring back the original colour. At Apex Detail Studio in Al Quoz, Dubai, we fit full-body colour PPF in gloss, satin and matte finishes, from AED 15,000 before 5% VAT.

The full comparison: colour PPF vs vinyl wrap
A colour change has to be updated with the RTA so your registration matches the car. We take care of the application, so you drop the car off in one colour and collect it in another, registered and ready.

For a car you want to keep, yes. A vinyl wrap mainly changes the look, while colour PPF is thicker, self-healing and protects the paint from stone chips as well as changing the colour. More in our colour PPF vs vinyl wrap guide.
A respray replaces your factory paint for good and cannot be undone, and buyers often ask why a car was painted. Colour PPF changes the colour while keeping the original paint protected underneath, and it can be removed later. More in our guide to a full colour change respray.
No. Fitted on healthy factory paint, the film protects it while the colour change is on, and it can be removed without harming the paint underneath.
Yes. The film can be removed at the studio to bring back the original colour, for example before you sell the car or when you want a different look.
Gloss, satin and matte colours, from blacks, greys and Nardo Grey to greens, blues, purples and specials. Our Apex Chroma range has 187 colours, and we can also fit satin or matte clear film over your existing colour.
Door shuts and inner edges can be included so no original colour shows when the doors open. Ask for them when you request your quote.
Usually several days, depending on the car and the level of detail, such as door shuts. The team confirms timing with your quote.
Yes. It is a thick urethane film, so it takes stone chips, road rash and light scratches that would otherwise mark the paint, and its self-healing top coat lets fine marks fade with heat.
Yes. We have changed Cybertrucks from raw stainless steel to brown, green, gloss black and satin black with film, which also protects the steel from marks and fingerprints.
The factory paint stays underneath, protected from chips and sun, and the film can be removed before sale, so the next owner gets the original colour in good condition.
Wait about a week before the first wash, hand wash with a pH neutral shampoo, avoid brush car washes and keep pressure washer nozzles away from the edges. On satin and matte film, never use wax or polish.
The car is already with us, so this is the best time to finish the look. Here is what owners add to a colour change.
