PPF SUPPLIER AUSTRALIA
Wholesale paint protection film for professional installers.
How Supply Works,
Start to Finish
Defcon Films Australia is the manufacturer and PPF supplier behind the Defcon film range, selling directly to installers across Australia rather than through resellers. The pipeline is short: register for a trade account, request a sample roll, place orders through the online shop, and register each installation in the e-Warranty system.
Because film, cutting software, plotter, consumables and training all come from the same catalogue, a new shop can set up its whole PPF workflow through one account, and an established shop can consolidate suppliers instead of juggling separate vendors for film and patterns.
One Supplier,
Six Film Lines
One trade portal covers all six lines, one warranty system covers every roll, and one support contact answers for all of it.
Six lines cover the work an installer sees: Glanz gloss and Frozen satin for paint, Spectra for colour, FleetArmour for abrasion zones, Crystal Shield for EV glass roofs and CoolVue for tint.
Film Construction
& Testing
The gloss PPF lines are built on aliphatic TPU at a total thickness of 190 microns ±10%, about 7.5 mils, with single-point puncture resistance close to 10 kg and a 13-micron self-healing top coat that repairs minor scratches under heat.
UV performance was lab tested by ARPANSA, the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency, on Glanz clear TPU film: eight specimens, 99.0% of UV blocked, reference UVR_25-0370-1. Those are the numbers customers ask about; quote them and point to the test report. On the bench, the film stretches over curves without lifting and the easy-tack adhesive slides during positioning then grips once placed.
Trade Pricing &
Sample Rolls
Trade pricing for the full Defcon range sits behind the trade login. Nothing is published, so the margin you set on a bonnet or a full front is yours to decide, not something a customer can look up.
Most installers start with a free sample roll of Glanz, cut a bonnet pattern on it and judge the tack and stretch for themselves before the first full order. Shops adding staff pair it with the Practice Pack so training never touches customer stock.
Warranty
By Film Line
Because Defcon supplies six film lines, warranty terms differ by line: 12 years on Defcon ONE, 10 years on Glanz and Frozen, 7 years on Spectra, 3 years on Crystal Shield and FleetArmour, and a lifetime limited warranty on CoolVue tint. Every one of them applies under normal use and proper installation, with the full wording on the warranty page.
Registration is part of supply: every roll and every install goes into the e-Warranty system within 7 days of the customer invoice, and the record travels with the car to its next owner.
If a claim is ever needed, the procedure and the exclusions are published in full on the warranty page rather than quoted here.
OEMC Software
& DFA Plotter
Cut vehicle patterns in-house with OEMC pattern software on the DFA plotter, both listed in the Defcon product range. Film, software and plotter come from one supplier, so a single support contact covers the whole cutting workflow.
In-house cutting means panels are cut off the car from a pattern library instead of being hand trimmed on paint, which is how most film damage claims start. The DFA Plotter and OEMC software are stocked as standard catalogue items.
Training &
Installer Support
PPF installation training and support come through the same team that supplies the film: training sessions, cutting software setup and tooling advice are part of the trade relationship, not a separate vendor.
New installers can start with the Starter Pack, practice on the Practice Pack, then move to full rolls once confident. Technical questions are answered through our contact page, in English or Chinese.
Who We Supply
Across Australia
Supply runs Australia-wide from Australian warehousing, dispatched through the online shop. The guides for professional installers, car dealerships, wrap shops and detailing studios each cover how the same catalogue fits a different kind of business.
Bilingual consultation in English and Chinese is available through the WeChat channel for product selection and wholesale ordering. 华人安装商可通过微信获得中英双语的选品与批发咨询。
Colour PPF &
Restyling Stock
Spectra colour PPF gives restyling shops more than 200 colours in gloss and satin with an OEM paint-like finish, carrying paint-protection performance that traditional vinyl wrap does not offer.
For shops selling colour change plus protection in one job, Spectra is stocked in the same portal as the clear films, on the same 7-year limited warranty and e-Warranty registration flow.
Fleet, 4WD &
Commercial Work
FleetArmour is the bulk line for 4WD, fleet and commercial panels: a sacrificial layer made for wear and tear, priced for coverage rather than showroom finish, and straightforward to install on large flat sections.
Fleet operators and mining-region shops order it for tray sides, sills and high-abrasion zones where the job is protection volume, backed by its 3-year limited warranty.
Consumables In
The Same Order
Installation consumables ship with the film: DFA Surface Cleaner in 24-can cartons and Installation Gel in 16-litre drums sit in the same catalogue, so one order covers film, prep and slip solution.
Surface preparation is also a warranty condition: cover requires a clean, contaminant-free surface at installation, so running approved prep products protects both the job and the claim.
FAQ
-
How do I open a trade account?
To open a trade account, contact the team; once approved you order through the online shop with wholesale pricing active on your login.
-
Can the film go on surfaces other than cars?
Yes. Defcon PPF installs on any smooth painted surface, which is why sign writers and asset owners use it beyond vehicles. Chrome is also workable: the protected chrome can read slightly differently to the bare finish, so test a small patch first and show the customer before wrapping the full trim.
-
How deep a scratch will the film self-heal?
The self-healing clear coat is about 13 microns thick. Scratches contained within that layer repair with heat from sunlight or warm water, which is a demonstration worth doing in front of customers. Anything that cuts through the clear coat is permanent, and that section of film should be replaced rather than polished.
-
Can PPF be installed on windscreens?
Standard PPF is not suitable for windscreens: the film's optical properties and impact absorption create visual distortion on glass. Crystal Shield is the Defcon line built specifically for EV glass protection, so quote glass work on Crystal Shield and paint work on the PPF lines.
-
Are precut kits available?
Defcon film is supplied in full rolls and cut in-house with OEMC pattern software; precut kits are not part of the range. On complex curved panels we still recommend certified installation, which is exactly the work our trade customers sell, so kits complement rather than compete with your installation business.
-
Can customers apply ceramic coating over the film?
Yes. Ceramic coatings can be applied over Defcon PPF and do not interfere with the self-healing layer, though some coatings change the gloss level of the finish. Advise customers to use coatings designed for PPF, and quote the combination as a package where it suits the vehicle.
-
Do you offer support in Chinese?
Yes. Bilingual consultation in English and Chinese is available through our WeChat channel, covering product selection, ordering and technical questions. 我们提供中英双语咨询,微信扫码即可获得一对一支持。
-
What maintenance should end customers follow?
No special maintenance is needed beyond regular cleaning, which keeps the aftercare conversation simple at handover. The self-healing top coat handles minor wash marks with heat, and full care terms sit alongside the warranty conditions on the warranty page.
-
How long does Defcon PPF last?
Defcon ONE carries a 12-year warranty and Glanz a 10-year warranty covering yellowing, staining, bubbling, peeling and cracking, so the film you sell is warranted for close to the ownership life of most vehicles.
-
Will the film yellow over time?
Defcon ONE is backed by a 12-year warranty against yellowing and other common film issues, and abnormal or premature yellowing is treated as a manufacturing defect under warranty. Proper care maintains clarity through the film's lifespan.
-
Does the warranty transfer if the vehicle is sold?
Yes. Defcon warranties transfer to subsequent vehicle owners while a valid e-Warranty record exists, which is a selling point your customers can pass on at resale.
-
Does removing the film damage paint?
Modern factory paint adheres to the panel far more strongly than the film adheres to the paint, so correct removal is very unlikely to damage original paint. Recommend professional removal using heat to soften the adhesive and minimise residue.
-
Can the film go on headlights and fog lights?
Yes, Defcon films are suitable for protecting vehicle lighting surfaces, which lets you quote lights alongside paint panels in the same job.
-
Can PPF be applied over vinyl wraps or racing stripes?
Yes, PPF can be applied over vinyl or graphics. Watch hard edges, which can trap air underneath the film, and set customer expectations before quoting.
-
Can the film go over paint touch-ups?
Yes, but touch-up areas should be smooth and professionally buffed before application for the best finish, so inspect repair spots at quoting time.
-
Can the film be installed on brand-new vehicles?
Yes. Factory paint is typically fully cured before the vehicle leaves the assembly line, so new deliveries can be filmed straight away, which suits dealership pre-delivery work.
-
Can film go over dealer-applied waxes or sealants?
Remove waxes and sealants before applying PPF because they interfere with adhesion, and surface preparation is a warranty condition. If the customer wants them, apply after installation.
