When an organization like Lockheed Martin chooses a shop to work on its fleet, that trust is earned through consistent craftsmanship, professionalism, and proven results. We are proud to have been selected to perform custom Color Paint Protection Film (PPF) installations on their fleet of Mack trucks—a project that demanded precision, innovation, and a level of expertise rarely seen in the automotive restyling industry.
This Mack truck received a complete Matte Black Color PPF transformation on the hood (bonnet), converting the factory white finish into a bold, stealth-inspired appearance while adding long-term protection against the harsh conditions commercial vehicles face every day.
Large commercial trucks present challenges unlike anything found on passenger vehicles. The hood of a Mack truck is an enormous, complex fiberglass panel with aggressive curves, deep contours, and a surface area several times larger than the hood of a typical car.
Traditionally, these applications are completed with paint or vinyl. We took a different approach.
Using Color Paint Protection Film, we developed one of the industry's first custom installations of its kind on a commercial fleet vehicle—combining the visual impact of a color change with the superior durability and protection that only PPF can provide.
Successfully executing a project of this scale required extensive planning, custom installation techniques, and countless hours of precision workmanship.
Installing Color PPF on a Mack truck hood is substantially more demanding than a standard vinyl wrap.
Paint Protection Film is significantly thicker and heavier than vinyl, making it far less forgiving during installation. Every movement must be carefully controlled to maintain consistent tension while avoiding distortion, contamination, or visible imperfections.
Because of the hood's immense size and complex shape, this installation required multiple technicians working in perfect coordination. Every curve, edge, vent opening, and transition demanded precise stretching, accurate alignment, and meticulous finishing to ensure a flawless result.
Projects like this cannot be rushed—they require patience, experience, and an understanding of material behavior that only comes from years of specialized installation work.
Every fleet vehicle receives the same level of care and attention as the exotic and luxury vehicles that enter our studio.
Our process began with a thorough cleaning and decontamination of the hood to remove road contaminants, industrial fallout, and surface residues. The surface was then carefully inspected and prepared to ensure optimal film adhesion.
Each section of Color PPF was strategically planned and professionally installed using advanced techniques developed through extensive experience with premium paint protection films. Critical areas were carefully wrapped and finished to create clean, durable edges capable of withstanding the demanding conditions these trucks encounter on the road every day.
Every installation concludes with a comprehensive quality inspection to ensure it meets our exacting standards before the vehicle returns to service.
Fleet vehicles represent a company's professionalism every time they arrive on a job site. When appearance, durability, and long-term performance matter, experience makes all the difference.
Being trusted by Lockheed Martin to perform this work—and to continue transforming additional Mack trucks within their fleet—is a responsibility we take seriously. It reflects the confidence they've placed in our team, our craftsmanship, and our ability to deliver consistent, high-quality results on some of the most challenging vehicles in the industry.
