When most people in Omaha think about Paint Protection Film (PPF), they picture it on their hood, bumper, or fenders—shielding against rock chips and road debris. But did you know there are several other areas on your vehicle that can benefit from PPF? These often-overlooked spots take a beating in everyday use, and adding a layer of protection could save you hundreds in repair costs.
Here are five places you wouldn’t think to apply PPF—but absolutely should!
- Door Cups – Save Your Paint from Wedding Rings and Scratches
Every time you reach for your door handle, your fingers—and whatever jewelry you’re wearing—graze the paint. Over time, this leads to unsightly scratches, especially from wedding rings or long nails. PPF in your door cups acts as an invisible barrier, preventing this wear and tear before it starts. 2. Door Edges – Prevent Rust and Door Dings
Ever parked in a tight spot and accidentally nicked the car next to you? It happens to the best of us. The edges of your doors are particularly vulnerable to chips and dings, which can lead to rust over time—a costly issue to repair. A small strip of PPF on your door edges keeps the paint intact and helps prevent long-term damage.
- Cargo Area – Protect from Scuffs and Scrapes
Your trunk or cargo space sees a lot of action. From loading groceries to hauling gear for an outdoor weekend at Lake Zorinsky, the rear bumper and cargo area can quickly become scratched and scuffed. PPF adds a durable layer that absorbs impact, ensuring your vehicle stays in top condition, no matter how much you haul.
- A & B Pillars – Guard Against Rock Chips
Your A and B pillars (the vertical supports between your windshield, front doors, and rear doors) may not be the first areas you think of for protection, but they’re exposed to rock chips just like your hood and fenders. In Omaha, where road construction and gravel can be unpredictable, PPF on these pillars helps maintain your car’s appearance and prevents small chips from spreading into larger issues.
- Door Sills – Keep High Heels, Boots, and Dress Shoes from Scratching Your Paint
How many times have you stepped in and out of your car without thinking about the damage to your door sills? Whether it's high heels, work boots, or dress shoes, your footwear can leave permanent scratches in these high-traffic areas. A strip of PPF protects against scuffs and keeps your entryways looking brand new.

Living in Omaha means dealing with everything from winter road salt to gravel chips and daily wear and tear. Protecting these lesser-known areas of your vehicle with Paint Protection Film isn’t just about keeping your car looking great—it’s about preventing costly repairs down the road.
