This black Ferrari 296 GTB with yellow stripes was covered in premium gloss paint protection film at Apex Detail Studio in Dubai. We used precut templates made for the 296 GTB, wrapped the intakes, splitters, mirrors and headlights, and tucked every edge, so the stripes and paint look untouched. Full PPF starts from AED 14,000 for supercars, depending on options, before 5% VAT.

The 296 GTB is Ferrari’s V6 plug-in hybrid berlinetta, and its body is full of sharp creases, deep intakes and a low nose that sits close to the road. That shape is exactly where stone chips and road rash hit first, and the yellow stripes on this car would be expensive to repaint.

What did we do to this Ferrari 296 GTB?
We fitted premium gloss paint protection film panel by panel, using precut templates measured for the 296 GTB’s curves, vents and aero. Gloss film is clear and self-healing, so the black paint and yellow stripes keep their look while the film takes the chips and scratches.
| Area | Risk on a 296 GTB | What we did |
|---|---|---|
| Nose and front splitter | Stone chips and kerb scrapes | Film wrapped into the splitter and nose |
| Bonnet and stripes | Chips across the stripe paint | Clear film over paint and stripes |
| Side intakes | Grit thrown up by the front tyres | Film worked into the intakes |
| Mirrors and headlights | Chips and haze | Covered and wrapped |
| Rear deck and bumper | Sun and sand | Film set panel by panel |
Does PPF cover the yellow stripes?
Yes. The clear film goes over the stripes and the paint in one layer, so the stripes stay exactly as Ferrari applied them while being protected. On a car with painted stripes, that matters: repainting a chipped stripe and matching it perfectly is slow and costly.
How did we fit the film with precut templates?
Each piece of film was cut by a plotter from a template made for the 296 GTB, so no blade touched the paint. The team then laid the film panel by panel, heat sealed the edges and tucked them in for invisible edges.
- Surface prep. A full wash and decontamination so nothing was trapped under the film.
- Precut film. Templates for the 296 GTB were cut by plotter.
- Panel by panel. Bonnet, wings, doors, rear deck and bumpers were fitted one at a time.
- Complex areas. Intakes, splitters, mirrors and headlights were wrapped by hand.
- Heat sealing and tucking. Edges were heat sealed, aligned and tucked.
- Final inspection. Every panel was checked and the gloss finished off before handover.

Inside the cabin
Is there aftercare after the install?
Yes. Every Ferrari we protect is covered by our yearly maintenance package, so the film stays in top condition year after year.
- PPF inspection: we check for wear, lifting edges and any damage from the road or weather.
- Hydrophobic refresh: we restore the film’s water-repellent top layer.
- Gentle hand wash and detail: the car is cleaned the safe way for film.
- UV check: we make sure the film is still protecting against fading and oxidation.
Why does a supercar need PPF in Dubai?
Because road rash, stone chips and UV are constant here. Long motorway runs throw grit at the nose and intakes, sand blasts the front end, and strong sun is hard on paint. Self-healing film takes that damage, light swirls fade with heat, and the factory paint stays original for resale.

Frequently asked questions
Is aftercare included?
Yes. Our yearly maintenance package covers a PPF inspection, a hydrophobic refresh, a gentle hand wash and detail, and a UV check.
What did Apex Detail Studio do to this Ferrari 296 GTB?
We fitted premium gloss paint protection film using precut templates, panel by panel, after full surface prep and decontamination, and wrapped the intakes, splitters, mirrors and headlights.
Does PPF cover the yellow stripes?
Yes. Clear film goes over the stripes and the paint, so they keep their look while being protected.
Is precut film safe for Ferrari paint?
Yes. Precut templates mean no cutting on the paint, which removes the risk of knife marks.
Which parts of a 296 GTB chip the most?
The nose, front splitter, bonnet, front wings, side intakes and the area ahead of the rear wheels.
Is gloss PPF self-healing?
Yes. Light swirls and fine scratches in the film fade with heat from the sun or warm water.
