What Is STEK Paint Protection Film?
STEK Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a high-tech urethane film applied to a vehicle’s painted surfaces to protect it from chips, road debris, scratches, and harsh environmental conditions. What sets STEK apart is its ultra-glossy finish, hydrophobic surface, and unique styling options.
Unlike traditional PPF brands, STEK offers a wide range of finishes—including gloss, matte, and even patterned films—designed to not just protect, but also elevate your vehicle’s look.
At Merit Tint, we are certified STEK installers and vendors, delivering premium-grade protection and aesthetics to Encino drivers.

Why Choose STEK PPF Over Other Brands?
Here’s how STEK stands apart in a competitive market:
- Next-Level Gloss – STEK delivers a shine that rivals ceramic coatings.
- Hydrophobic Properties – Water and dirt bead off, keeping your car cleaner.
- Self-Healing – Minor scratches disappear with heat or sun exposure.
- UV Protection – Shields your paint from fading and discoloration.
- Stylish Options – STEK offers carbon fiber, damascus, and color-tint PPF options.
- Durability – Withstands daily driving and weather abuse.
STEK is ideal for enthusiasts who want both protection and personalization.
