We stopped by the STEK booth at SEMA to check out what’s new in the paint protection world. Artisan Auto Styling walked us through their latest Air Force Series film, and this stuff is on a different level.
The install process is shockingly easy. The air release technology lets the film sit down clean, smooth, and consistent without fighting it the entire way. In person, it genuinely looks like paint. The clarity, the finish, and the gloss levels are way beyond what you expect from traditional PPF.
It still self-heals, it is extremely hydrophobic, and the durability is exactly what you want if you’re protecting high-end builds or daily drivers that take a beating. Every installer that tested it at the booth had the same reaction. They were blown away by how clean it lays and how premium the surface looks once it is finished.
If you work in film, detailing, wrapping, or you’re building cars for clients, this is the kind of product that makes your life easier while leveling up the final result.
Big shoutout to Artisan Auto Styling and STEK USA // STEK for showing us the tech behind the new series.
