You insure your home.
You insure your watches.
You insure your business, your art, your life – and of course you have an insurance policy on your vehicles – but are you ACTUALLY PROTECTING them?
For collectors and enthusiasts across the Bay Area, classic cars and rare supercars represent far more than transportation. They represent heritage, craftsmanship, history, and in many cases, multi-six or seven-figure value.
Protecting those vehicles isn’t optional.
It’s essential.
SS Customs is The Bay Area’s Oldest and Most-Trusted 5-Star Vehicle Wrap, PPF & Tint Shop — and the shop trusted with vehicles most installers never get near.
Not Every Shop Is Equipped for Classics & Supercars
Working on a modern daily driver is one thing.
Working on:
- Classic Ferraris
- Vintage Porsche 911s
- Rare BMW M models
- Air-cooled icons
- Limited-production supercars
- Collector Mercedes
- One-off restorations
is something entirely different.
Classic vehicles often have:
- Thin or original paint
- Hand-finished panels
- Irreplaceable trim
- Unique body lines
- High appraisal values
Supercars present:
- Complex curves
- Carbon fiber panels
- Specialty finishes
- Extremely tight tolerances
These vehicles require a completely different level of preparation, skill, and respect.
Protection for Cars Many Owners Think “Can’t” Be Protected
A common misconception among collectors:
“PPF doesn’t belong on a classic.”
Modern protection films and coatings have evolved dramatically.
Today’s high-end paint protection film (PPF):
- Is optically clear
- Self-heals from light marring
- Preserves original paint
- Can be removed without damage
- Carries strong manufacturer warranties
When installed properly, PPF is virtually invisible — and fully reversible.
That means you can protect original paint today and remove the film years later with no sacrifice to the finish.
For collector vehicles, that matters.
Preservation Is Always Less Expensive Than Restoration
Consider the numbers.
A full repaint on a classic Ferrari or Porsche can cost tens of thousands of dollars — and originality often impacts value significantly.
A high-end PPF or ceramic protection package costs a fraction of that.
Protecting a seven-figure vehicle with a professionally installed film or coating is simply intelligent risk management.
Paint preservation protects:
- Collector value
- Factory originality
- Appraisal strength
- Auction readiness
For many collectors, protection is not cosmetic — it is financial strategy.
Paint Correction & Restoration Before Protection
Many classic vehicles benefit from professional paint correction and refinement before any protective layer is installed.
Our process includes:
- Multi-stage paint correction
- Careful surface refinement
- Safe treatment of vintage finishes
- Restoration of gloss and depth
Once corrected, protection locks in that finish for years to come.
This is especially valuable for:
- Original factory paint
- Rare period-correct finishes
- Single-stage vintage paint
Supercars Demand Absolute Precision
Modern supercars are engineering masterpieces.
Ferrari.
Lamborghini.
McLaren.
Porsche GT models.
Carbon fiber panels, complex aero, sculpted body lines — these vehicles require installers who understand:
- Edge wrapping precision
- Panel alignment
- Seam invisibility
- Carbon fiber protection
- High-temperature surfaces
PPF and vinyl wrap installations on these vehicles must be flawless.
There is no room for compromise.
Vinyl Wraps for Rare & Unique Builds
Collectors and supercar owners also use high-end vinyl wraps for:
- Unique finishes
- Period-inspired aesthetics
- Track protection
- Temporary color transformations
Like PPF, vinyl wraps can be professionally removed without harming the underlying paint when installed correctly.
This allows collectors to experiment without permanently altering originality.

Insurance Is Standard — Protection Should Be Too
Collectors insure their vehicles.
But insurance only responds after damage occurs.
Paint protection film, ceramic coatings, and professional preservation prevent that damage in the first place.
Protection:
- Preserves originality
- Maintains aesthetic perfection
- Reduces long-term restoration costs
- Protects value during driving and display
