They did everything very fast and at the same time to a very high standard — the whole job took just 3 days. The car came back in perfect condition; the attention to detail and the careful approach are obvious.
Hood-only PPF protects the covered surface while leaving the bumper, fenders and other panels without that protection. It is an option for a priority area and a limited budget. Whether that scope meets your needs depends on the car's condition, where damage occurs and how much of the body you want to preserve.
At BESTAUTO, hood paint protection film starts from 800 GEL, and front coverage from 2500 GEL. These refer to different scopes of work. Current options and calculation are on the PPF service page; we agree the cost for your car after selecting the material and inspecting the surface.
What hood PPF does
The hood encounters road debris, contamination and contact during washing. PPF helps reduce some damage to covered paint, but a strong impact can damage both the film and the finish. Existing chips do not disappear under film; weak or damaged paint needs assessment before installation.
A panel name cannot establish a fixed share of risk. Bumpers, headlights, fenders, sills and other areas can also suffer damage. Look at where marks already occur on your car and which impacts repeat. The chip and scratch protection guide explains the material's capabilities.
When to consider the hood alone
Discuss a single panel when the hood is your main priority and broader coverage is unnecessary or beyond the current budget. This choice does not require a particular vehicle age, class or ownership period. With partial coverage, understand which surfaces will remain exposed.
| Your aim | What to compare before choosing |
|---|---|
| Preserve mainly the hood surface | Paint condition, material, covered area and edges |
| Protect several front panels | The hood alone and the exact scope of a front package |
| Reduce marks across more of the body | Front coverage and full wrapping by their included panels |
| Start with one panel and expand later | Material compatibility, first-stage boundaries and future preparation |
Discuss later expansion in advance. Future prices and the condition of unprotected panels can change. The partial versus full PPF guide addresses broader coverage.
When to compare front coverage
If marks develop on several front panels or you want to protect them before regular trips, compare the hood with a package. A route alone cannot predict future chip counts or make one option mandatory.
BESTAUTO's current front option from 2500 GEL includes the hood, front bumper, front fenders, pillars, headlights, mirrors and a strip above the windshield. Other options can have a different scope. Compare covered surfaces and boundaries, selected film and preparation.
Do not add separate headlight or mirror charges when they are already included in the chosen package. Starting amounts for individual panels do not establish a final quote, so a package cannot be promised to save a fixed amount for every car.
Hood and adjacent-area prices
| Work | Published BESTAUTO starting price |
|---|---|
| Hood paint protection film | From 800 GEL |
| Bumper wrapping | From 900 GEL |
| Front fender wrapping | From 600 GEL |
| Protective PPF for front headlights | From 350 GEL |
| Front option with the panels listed above | From 2500 GEL |
Confirm the individual fender quote and headlight coverage for the specific car. Full clear wrapping starts from 6900 GEL, Full Lux from 8600 GEL; the 1700 GEL upgrade adds the windshield and interior trim. The full PPF guide explains full coverage; the pricing article covers quote factors. Starting amounts are also in the general price list.
A price from 800 GEL does not assign every hood a single film series or finish. BESTAUTO offers LuxArmor PRO, Quantum Rocket Pro and LLumar Platinum. The selected film has a 10-year material warranty under the manufacturer's terms; installation terms are agreed separately. Warranty does not mean protection from every impact or a guaranteed damage-free lifespan.
What to agree before hood wrapping
- Paint condition, existing chips, previous repairs and necessary preparation.
- The film and finish, covered surface and edge details.
- Work included in the quote and any additional items.
- Vehicle drop-off and collection times for the agreed scope.
- Warranty terms, the first wash and ongoing care.
Clear PPF retains the original colour, but an edge or technical gap may be visible on close inspection. Edge wrapping depends on the hood; fully invisible edges cannot be promised for every car. A matte finish changes the sheen and may contrast with unwrapped panels.
Preparation is assessed during inspection; polishing is not assumed included or necessary. Recently repainted hoods require a check of the finish and material conditions. After installation, follow PPF maintenance guidance. All services are available at both studios: Saburtalo and Guramishvili.
Frequently asked questions
What does hood-only PPF cost?
BESTAUTO's published starting price is 800 GEL. We confirm material, coverage, preparation and the final cost for your car before work begins.
Does protecting the hood protect most of the car?
It protects only the covered surface. A fixed share of all road risks cannot be established; the bumper, headlights and other exposed panels remain without PPF.
Should I add headlight protection separately?
Discuss it when selecting hood-only wrapping. Headlights are already included in the front option from 2500 GEL and should not be counted twice.
Will the film boundary be visible?
This depends on the hood, material and installation. Agree boundaries and potentially visible edges beforehand; clear film does not mean every installation detail is invisible up close.
