Paint protection film · Started in Canada

Invisible armor.Absolute clarity.

Designed by engineers from leading film companies, for extreme weather. Nothing we can’t put on the label.

Built by engineers who were done with the status quo.

ARK was started in Canada by a group of engineers who had worked with leading paint protection film companies. They didn’t like the status quo: bigger brands cutting corners on quality, and installers and car owners living with the result. So they engineered a film of their own: ARK, a state-of-the-art paint protection film.

They built it against what they kept seeing go wrong:

Adhesive that fails.
Stretch marks.
Poor clarity.
Yellowing over time.

These are what ARK was engineered to answer. Measured results are published as they exist, and not before.

Where it started: Canada
Built for: Extreme weather conditions.
Made for: Cars first. Aircraft and boats too.
Who makes it: Engineered to ARK's specification and manufactured by a partner facility.
Who installs it: Authorized dealers around the world.

One for every finish you’d want.

Gloss, ceramic gloss, satin and colour. Same warranty path, same authorized dealers, one data sheet each.

Defender

Gloss

This is the clear gloss film with its thickness printed on the roll, so you and the shop are talking about the same number. It disappears over the paint.

Explore Defender

Thickness: 8.5 mil
Finish: Ceramic infused
Warranty: 10 years
Roll size: 60 in × 50 ft

Fusion

Ceramic gloss

This film puts the water-repellent layer in its own top coat, so the beading is part of the film rather than a coating applied over it.

Explore Fusion

Thickness: 8.5 mil
Finish: Ceramic gloss
Warranty: 10 years
Roll size: 60 in × 50 ft

Umbra

Satin, working name

This film turns gloss paint satin without a repaint, and it protects factory matte paint, which cannot be polished when it is marked.

Explore Umbra

Thickness: 8 mil
Finish: Satin
Warranty: 10 years
Roll size: 60 in × 50 ft

Spectrum

Colour

The colour is in a protection film, so the restyle and the protective layer are the same layer. Colours published when the book is final.

Explore Spectrum

Thickness: 8 mil
Finish: Colour
Warranty: 10 years
Roll size: 60 in × 50 ft

Printed on the roll or confirmed by ARK

Same hood. One half protected.

Drag the line. One side is protected, the other is bare paint.

The same grey sports car hood and fender from the same spot, the paint now peppered with small rock chips along the front edge, swirl marks circling the light-bar reflections and a few hairline scratches.

A dark gunmetal grey sports car's long hood and front fender seen from above the front corner, the paint deep and unmarked, the studio's white light bars reflecting in long unbroken lines.

ProtectedBare paint

A stone that reaches the film leaves its mark in the film, which is the part that can be replaced.

A film brand that shows its work.

We sell direct

We also sell to car owners: pre-cut kits, film by the yard and full rolls. Most of what we sell is rolls to professional install shops, and we’d rather you heard the rest from us.

Warranty backing

Certified means one thing: a shop is authorised to install ARK, with warranty backing.

Cutting

No in-house cutting software. Most shops buy rolls and cut them on their own plotter and software; pre-cut kits are available too.

Training and certification

Being scheduled. Dates go up when they are real.

Real cars. Real shops.

All questions

Fair question. ARK PPF is a new paint protection film brand, started in Canada by engineers who had worked with leading paint protection film companies. They built it against what they kept seeing go wrong: adhesive that fails, stretch marks, poor clarity and yellowing. We publish a full data sheet for every film.

No. Film does not stop hail, and no paint protection film does. Film takes rock chips, scuffs and light scratches on the paint; hail dents the metal underneath, and a film on top of the paint cannot change that. ARK states the limit plainly because a brand that implies otherwise is selling something no film can deliver.

Yellowing over time is one of the four problems ARK was engineered against. It comes down to the film’s chemistry rather than the installer, and it shows first on white and silver cars, so the film you choose matters more than who fits it. ARK publishes measured data on it as it exists, and not before.

The long answer: Does paint protection film turn yellow?

ARK publishes no price of any kind, because it is a paint protection film brand, not an installation business. The shop that installs the film quotes the job before you book. The price depends on the car and how much of it you cover, so the figure comes from the installer, not from ARK.

The long answer: What drives the price of a paint protection film job?

A dark, empty detailing bay at night seen down its centre line: one dark saloon parked at the far end under a cool white ceiling light, whose reflection runs across the polished floor.
