Schuyler (Skylar) Ricketts works on every car himself, in a studio built for paint: hexagon lighting, digital paint gauges and infrared curing.
Two-lane highways and gravel
On two-lane roads you follow trucks and trailers closely, and there is no extra lane to get away from what they throw. Shoulders shed loose stone too. The front bumper, hood and mirrors pay for it, chip by chip. Film on those panels absorbs the stones instead of the paint, and it can be replaced when it wears.
Protecting trucks before they get worn
If you just bought a new truck or SUV, film is easiest to justify now, while the paint is clean. Tall, flat hoods face oncoming debris head on. A full front covers the whole hood, fenders, bumper and mirrors. Skylab installs STEK film and can ceramic coat the rest of the truck at the same time.

Where the install happens
PPF installs are done indoors at the Modesto studio, where the vehicle can be prepped and the film laid in clean conditions. From Oakdale, Highway 108 runs west through Riverbank to Modesto. Ask about mobile service if you need it, and call with your vehicle's details for a free quote.
Questions
Does PPF help on the Highway 108 and 120 drives out of Oakdale?
Yes. Two-lane highway driving behind trucks and trailers throws a lot of gravel at the front of a vehicle. Film over the hood, bumper and mirrors absorbs it. A ceramic coating alone will not prevent chips.
Can PPF go on an Oakdale owner's truck as well as a car?
Yes. Skylab installs STEK film on trucks, SUVs and cars, from a partial front up to the whole vehicle. Truck coverage is quoted free, since hood and bumper sizes vary a lot between models.
What is a full front PPF package for Oakdale drivers?
A full front covers the entire hood, both front fenders, the front bumper and the side mirrors. It protects the panels that face the road with no film line across the middle of the hood. Call (209) 871-7060 for a free quote on your vehicle.
