PPF, Ceramic Coating & Tint for Southlake
2CG Automotive Styling serves Southlake from a by-appointment studio in Grapevine. If you need paint protection film (PPF), ceramic coating, ceramic window tint, or a custom vinyl wrap near Southlake, we handle the work in a private studio a short drive from town—serving Southlake from our Grapevine studio, by appointment only.
Southlake vehicles see neighborhood streets and open highway. We plan clear film where chips start, ceramic where UV matters, and ceramic tint for cabin heat on summer Metroplex days.
Services for Southlake drivers
Paint Protection Film (PPF)
Transparent STEK film sized for high-value finishes that see SH 114 corridor debris and strong sun between Southlake and the rest of DFW. 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 Southlake 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 Southlake, 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.

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 Southlake from our Grapevine studio, by appointment only. We confirm your window before you arrive so pickup stays as orderly as drop-off.
SH 114 miles and strong North Texas sun
Southlake driving often pairs manicured neighborhood streets with faster SH 114 miles. Leading edges take the debris; parked hours take the UV. Cabin heat builds quickly in midsummer, especially on vehicles that sit outside between errands.
Protection for Southlake owners usually starts with clear film on high-impact panels, ceramic coating for hydrophobic wash-downs, and ceramic tint that cuts infrared load without clouding visibility at night. When a new delivery needs day-one coverage, we scope those services together so the schedule and the finish match.
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.
Southlake 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.

Our Grapevine studio is typically about a 10–15 minute drive from Southlake via SH 114 and SH 121, depending on traffic. All visits are by appointment only.
Is ceramic tint useful for Southlake summers?
Yes. Ceramic window tint helps cut infrared heat and UV, which matters for North Texas summers and vehicles that spend time parked in the sun. Films on our site are described as blocking up to 98% of infrared light and 99% of UV rays.
How much does protection cost for a Southlake vehicle?
Pricing depends on the vehicle and coverage. Call (214) 970-1891 for a quote—we do not publish one-size prices because film area and finish vary by platform.

It depends on the package. A single service and a multi-service build are scheduled differently. We confirm timing before drop-off.
