Paint Protection & Ceramic Styling for Highland Park
2CG Automotive Styling is a by-appointment Grapevine studio that Highland Park drivers use for paint protection film (PPF), ceramic coatings, ceramic window tint, and custom vinyl wraps. We serve Highland Park from our Grapevine studio, by appointment only—typically about a 30–40 minute drive via SH 114 and the Dallas North Tollway, depending on traffic—with private install time reserved for your vehicle.
Park Cities driving mixes quiet streets with short highway hops—hard on unprotected leading edges and sun-soaked interiors. We plan film, ceramic, and tint together when a delivery needs more than one service.
Services for Highland Park drivers
Paint Protection Film (PPF)
Transparent film for rock chips, swirl marks, and UV on vehicles that move between Park Cities streets and DFW highways. We exclusively use STEK Films for durability, clarity, and premium finishes, including gloss, satin, and specialty options. Coverage can start with an essential front-end package and scale to gold-level impact zones or full-vehicle film, depending on how the car is driven. Film coverage carries a 10-year warranty as stated on our site.
Ceramic Coating
Ceramic coating adds UV protection and a hydrophobic surface that helps water and dirt release more easily on paint, vinyl wrap, or PPF. Every ceramic install at 2CG includes a 1-step polish, so the surface is prepared before the coating goes down. For Highland Park owners, that usually means easier wash-downs after highway miles and stronger defense against North Texas sun on panels that see open parking.
Ceramic Window Tint
Ceramic window tint is built for Texas heat, privacy, and UV control—with clear visibility and signal-friendly construction. Films on our Services page block up to 98% of infrared light and 99% of UV rays, with a limited lifetime warranty—useful for summer drives and parked vehicles around Highland Park, without relying on metallic films that can interfere with signals.
Vinyl Wraps
Full color change, accents, chrome deletes, and commercial graphics—without painting over factory finish. Film options include brands shown on our site—3M, Avery Dennison, and TeckWrap. Partial work such as roof wraps and chrome deletes keeps factory paint intact underneath.
Why Highland Park drivers choose 2CG

Coordinated builds. PPF, tint, and ceramic scoped together when a new delivery needs full coverage from day one.
What to expect at your appointment
Consultation. Tell us the year, make, and model, plus the services you want—PPF, ceramic, tint, wraps, or a combination. We use that to recommend coverage, finish, and an install timeline. Call (214) 970-1891, use BOOK NOW for Square Appointments, or send a message on the Contact page. Timing is confirmed before you drop off.
Prep and paint correction. Before coating or film, surfaces need to be clean and ready. All ceramic installations include a 1-step polish. For drop-off, remove personal items, wash the exterior a few days prior, and vacuum the interior so technicians have clear access.
Install. Paint protection film, ceramic coating, ceramic window tint, and vinyl wraps are installed in a private studio environment with time reserved for your vehicle. Edge work and multi-panel film are scheduled as appointment blocks, not walk-in slots.
Cure and aftercare. After film or coating, we review care basics so the finish can settle properly. Maintenance tips for film, tint, and coatings are also covered in our Learn guides when you want a longer checklist.
Pickup. Visits are by appointment only—serving Highland Park from our Grapevine studio, by appointment only. We confirm your window before you arrive so pickup stays as orderly as drop-off.
Park Cities streets, short hops, and garage-kept cars
Highland Park driving mixes tree-lined streets, short garage-to-errand loops, and frequent hops onto DFW freeways. Soft residential speeds still meet hard highway debris the moment you join a corridor. Summer parking—even near home—loads UV onto paint and interiors.
Garage-kept cars still benefit from film on leading edges and ceramic on surfaces that see sun between appointments. Ceramic tint keeps cabin temperatures more manageable on Tollway runs. Discreet scheduling at the Grapevine studio keeps the install private from drop-off through pickup.
How PPF, ceramic, and tint work together
Think of protection as a stack. STEK PPF defends paint from rock chips and road debris. Ceramic coating—always with a 1-step polish at 2CG—adds hydrophobic performance and UV protection on paint, film, or vinyl. Ceramic tint lowers cabin heat for North Texas summers without metallic signal issues.
Highland Park owners who want day-one coverage usually start with that stack, then add wraps or accents only if style is part of the project. Package size depends on the vehicle and how it is driven. We confirm timing before drop-off. Call (214) 970-1891 or use the Contact page for a quote.
