If you drive in Burnaby, your paint is already in a fight. Highway 1 gravel, construction debris along Lougheed and Kingsway, winter road grit — the front of your car collects rock chips whether you notice them or not. Paint protection film is the clear answer: a transparent, self-healing urethane layer installed over the panels that take the hits, so chips and scratches land on the film instead of your paint.

SolidNova Auto installs XPEL paint protection film at our studio in East Vancouver, minutes from the Burnaby border — and Burnaby drivers make the short trip because of how the work is done: we are an Official XPEL Dealer, every install is led by an XPEL Certified Installer, and the shop carries a 5.0-star Google rating across 78 reviews. Tell us about your vehicle and we’ll confirm the right coverage and timing when you book.

Why Burnaby Drivers Add PPF



Burnaby driving is hard on front ends. The daily Highway 1 run to Vancouver or out toward Coquitlam, trucks throwing grit on the Lougheed, winter sanding on Burnaby Mountain roads — the bumper, hood, and fenders of a commuter car age faster than the rest of the vehicle. One chip through the clear coat is all it takes for rust to start, and repainting a panel costs far more than protecting it would have.



XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS film takes that damage instead. It is a clear urethane layer that absorbs rock impacts and road abrasion, and light swirls in the film itself can disappear with heat — the film keeps looking clean while the paint underneath stays in the condition it was the day it was covered. For drivers who prefer a satin look, XPEL STEALTH applies the same protection with a smooth satin finish, over either gloss or factory matte paint.



Film also guards the places owners forget until they see the damage: the edge of the hood where chips cluster, the area behind the front wheels where tires throw debris straight at the rocker panels, and the door edges that collect dings in Metrotown and Brentwood parking lots. Whether the car is a daily commuter, a family vehicle doing school runs across Burnaby, or something you plan to keep for a decade, the logic is the same — protect the paint while it is still the paint the car came with.

Coverage Options

Coverage scales to how you drive and what you want protected. Timelines below are typical estimates — we confirm the schedule for your vehicle when you book.



Hybrid Front (~1 day)

the high-impact essentials: front bumper, partial hood and fenders, and mirrors. The right starting point for city drivers who want the most exposed panels covered.



Full Front (~1.5 days)

complete front-end protection: full hood, full fenders, front bumper, mirrors, and headlights. The commuter’s choice, built for regular Highway 1 and Lougheed driving.



Full Body (~3.5 days)

every painted panel wrapped, including doors, quarters, and rocker panels that catch road spray. Maximum protection, and the natural pairing with STEALTH for a full satin conversion.



Not sure which fits?

Tell us the car and how you use it — mostly city, daily highway commute, or a vehicle you plan to keep long-term — and we’ll recommend the coverage honestly when you book, including telling you when a smaller package is enough.

A Short Drive from Burnaby



Let’s be straightforward about where we are: SolidNova Auto is in East Vancouver, at 5482 Rhodes St — right next door to Burnaby, a short drive from Metrotown, Brentwood, North Burnaby, or anywhere else in the city. Whether you cross on Highway 1, Kingsway, or Marine Drive, we’re the close option that doesn’t ask you to cross the whole Lower Mainland for certified XPEL work.



PPF is studio work, and we install it at the studio — film this precise needs the controlled, clean environment our Vancouver space provides, and that’s how the finish and edges come out the way they should. When you pick up your vehicle, we walk you through the finished work and the simple care routine that keeps the film performing.



One related note: if you’re also considering tint, we offer mobile window tinting within our service area — tint can come to you, even though PPF is installed in-studio.



Complete the Protection

Many owners pair film with coating. XPEL FUSION PLUS ceramic coating bonds to paint and to PPF, adding gloss and a hydrophobic surface that makes washing easier — film on the impact zones for chip protection, coating over everything for shine and easy maintenance. Windshield protection film is also available for drivers who want the same thinking applied to the glass that meets highway debris first. Add either when you book, or ask us about them at pickup — there’s no pressure to decide everything at once.

Burnaby PPF Questions, Answered

Are you located in Burnaby?

No — and we’d rather be upfront about that. Our studio is at 5482 Rhodes St in East Vancouver, right beside Burnaby, and many of our customers make the short drive over. All PPF is installed at the studio, where the controlled environment the film needs is possible.

How long will my vehicle be at the studio?

Typical estimates: about 1 day for a Hybrid Front, about 1.5 days for a Full Front, and about 3.5 days for a Full Body. Exact timing depends on your vehicle and the coverage you choose, and we confirm the schedule when you book — so you can plan your Burnaby–Vancouver trips around it.

Can PPF be installed at my home in Burnaby instead?

PPF itself, no — it is installed at our Vancouver studio, because the film needs a clean, controlled space to be applied properly. What we can bring to you is mobile window tinting, which we offer within our service area if you’re also considering tint.

PPF or ceramic coating — which do I need?

They do different jobs. PPF helps protect against physical impacts like rock chips and scratches. Ceramic coating adds gloss and makes washing easier, but it doesn’t protect against chips. Many owners combine them: film on the front impact zones, FUSION PLUS coating over the whole vehicle, including over the film.

How do I book, and is a reservation fee required?

You can request an appointment online at book.solidnovaauto.com — choose your services, vehicle, and a time that suits you. A 30% reservation fee secures your booking, and we’re open daily from 8 AM to 8 PM if you’d rather talk it through first at 672-558-0191.
