Calgary's Trusted Paint Protection Film Specialists

OUR STORY
Built on Passion, Driven by Excellence
Calgary Paint Protection Film was founded by Abner Galdamez, one of the first certified 3M paint protection film installers in Calgary. Abner got into the industry over 20 years ago, back when PPF was still in its infancy and most people had never heard of it. He saw the potential early and committed himself to mastering the craft.
What started in those early days has grown into one of Calgary’s most trusted PPF shops. As a 3M Certified Pro Shop and AMVIC licensed dealer, we hold ourselves to the highest standards in the industry. Every installation uses genuine 3M paint protection film with precision-cut patterns — no shortcuts, no compromises.
With over 20 years of experience and two convenient locations in Calgary (Chinook and Deerfoot City), our team — led by Abner alongside Caleb and our skilled crew — has protected thousands of vehicles, from daily drivers to exotic supercars. We treat every vehicle like it’s our own.
Outside the shop, Abner’s a dad and a family guy.. Lucky, there’s a man who positively can do
All the things that make us.. naw but anyhoo. You’ll usually find him at his kids’ basketball games, catching a concert, or somewhere in the mountains with his wife.

OUR PROCESS
How We Protect Your Vehicle
Every Calgary PPF installation follows our proven multi-step process, refined over 20 years of hands-on experience. Here’s what to expect when you bring your vehicle to one of our two Calgary locations.
1. Consultation & Package Selection
We start with an in-person or phone consultation to understand your driving habits, budget, and protection goals. Whether you need a partial front-end kit to shield against highway gravel or a full-body wrap for complete coverage, we’ll recommend the right 3M paint protection film package for your needs.
2. Precision Preparation
Before any film touches your vehicle, we thoroughly wash and clay bar every surface. Our climate-controlled installation bays maintain optimal temperature and humidity year-round — a critical factor for proper film adhesion, especially during Calgary’s harsh winters. We then use 3M’s proprietary DAP (Design Access Program) software to precision-plot every cut for your exact make, model, and year.
3. Expert Installation
Our certified installers apply each panel of 3M™ paint protection film with meticulous attention to detail. Edges are carefully wrapped and tucked for a seamless, invisible finish. The self-healing clear coat on 3M Pro Series film means minor scratches and swirl marks disappear with heat, keeping your vehicle looking showroom-fresh.
4. Quality Inspection & Aftercare
Every installation undergoes a thorough quality inspection under specialized lighting before your vehicle leaves our shop. We walk you through proper care instructions and provide documentation of your 3M warranty coverage. Our team is always available for follow-up support — that’s the kind of service that has earned us 393+ five-star reviews on Google.
