What is Supreme Films & Coatings?
Supreme Films & Coatings is an independent paint protection film and window tint manufacturer based in Lakewood, Colorado. We’ve manufactured proprietary PPF and ceramic window tint products for authorized dealers nationwide since 1995. Unlike manufacturers that operate retail shops competing with their own dealers, we maintain complete channel purity — we manufacture for dealers, never against them. Our business model focuses exclusively on supporting dealer success through premium products, comprehensive training programs, and reliable wholesale partnerships.
What products does Supreme Films manufacture?
We manufacture two primary product categories. Our paint protection film line includes four self-healing PPF variants: Gloss Slick-Silver (entry-level with advanced UV topcoat), Gloss Ultra-Slick (flagship deep gloss with 90% hydrophobic rating), Matte Ultra-Slick (finest matte finish for factory matte paint), and Onyx Ultra-Slick (non-transparent mirror black for chrome delete and full wraps). All PPF products feature 8-mil, 6-layer construction with proprietary UV-activated self-healing technology and carry 10-year limited warranties. Our window tint products are organized into two Series under distinct brand names. The Yeti Strong Series offers entry to mid-tier performance with Deluxe Carbon (full carbon, 30% IR rejection) and Silver Carbon/Ceramic (carbon-ceramic blend, 43% IR rejection). The Arctic Cool Series delivers premium nano-ceramic performance with Gold Ceramic (62% IR rejection), Platinum Nano Ceramic (96% IR rejection — the highest-performing tint in our portfolio), and Ultra Pure Ceramic (92% IR rejection with NASA-inspired ceramic technology optimized for windshields and sunroofs).
Does Supreme Films install PPF and window tint for consumers?
No. We’re a manufacturer and distributor, not a retail installer. We manufacture protective films and sell them wholesale to our authorized dealer network. If you’re a consumer looking for installation, use our Installer Locator to find an authorized Supreme Films dealer in your area. If you’re a shop owner interested in carrying our products, visit our Become a Dealer page or call (844) 778-7736 to discuss partnership opportunities.
Where is Supreme Films located, and do you serve dealers nationwide?
Our manufacturing facility and headquarters are located at 9895 W Colfax Ave Unit-B, Lakewood, Colorado 80215. While we’re Colorado-based, we serve authorized dealers throughout the United States. Our central location provides efficient distribution to both coasts, and our wholesale model supports dealers regardless of their distance from our facility. We also offer our six training programs at our Lakewood facility, where dealers can receive hands-on instruction on actual vehicles in a professional training environment.
Can dealers outside Colorado get training from Supreme Films?
Yes. While our training facility is located in Lakewood, Colorado, we welcome dealers from anywhere in the United States to attend our programs. Our training curriculum runs throughout the year with multiple session dates, allowing dealers to schedule training that fits their business calendar. Programs include automotive PPF installation, window film installation, commercial/residential PPF, flat glass window film, management/consulting, and our comprehensive Ultra-Package for new location startups. Training is conducted on actual vehicles and surfaces — not practice panels — providing real-world installation experience. Contact us at (844) 778-7736 for current training schedules, program pricing, and travel recommendations for out-of-state dealers.
What products does Supreme Films make?
We manufacture paint protection film and automotive window tint. Our PPF line includes four self-healing variants with 10-year warranties: Gloss Slick-Silver, Gloss Ultra-Slick, Matte Ultra-Slick, and Onyx Ultra-Slick. Our window tint is organized into two Series: Yeti Strong Series (carbon and ceramic blends) and Arctic Cool Series (premium nano-ceramic with up to 96% infrared heat rejection). All products are manufactured at our Lakewood, Colorado facility. Call (844) 778-7736 for dealer pricing and product specifications.
How much does it cost to become a Supreme Films dealer?
Dealer partnership costs vary based on initial inventory orders, training program participation, and business setup needs. Unlike some manufacturers that require restrictive buy-in minimums, we work with shops of different sizes to structure partnerships that make sense for your business. Contact our dealer services team at (844) 778-7736 or through our Become a Dealer application to discuss specific investment details, wholesale pricing structures, and available training programs. We’ll provide transparent pricing and help you understand the complete startup costs for adding Supreme Films products to your shop.
What kind of profit margins can dealers expect with Supreme Films products?
PPF installation services typically generate 55–75% profit margins depending on coverage level, vehicle type, and regional pricing. Window tint services offer similar profitability. As a wholesale manufacturer, we protect dealer margins by maintaining channel purity — we never compete with our dealers through company-owned retail shops. Your pricing remains yours to set based on your market, and you keep 100% of the customer relationship. Many dealers find that offering both PPF and window tint creates natural upsell opportunities that increase average ticket size and overall profitability. For detailed financial projections specific to your market and business model, contact our dealer services team to discuss partnership details.
What warranty does Supreme Films offer?
All Supreme Films paint protection film products carry a 10-year limited manufacturer warranty covering discoloration, delamination, bubbling, and cracking when installed by a certified Supreme Films installer. This warranty protects both you as the dealer and your customers, providing the confidence needed to recommend our products. Warranty claims are handled directly through our Lakewood facility with straightforward processes that support dealer credibility rather than complicate it. Specific warranty terms and registration procedures are provided with dealer onboarding materials.
How long has Supreme Films been in business?
Supreme Films & Coatings was founded in 1995, giving us nearly 30 years of protective film manufacturing experience. We’ve remained independently owned throughout our history, allowing us to maintain complete focus on dealer success without corporate pressures or conflicting retail interests. Our Colorado-based manufacturing facility has supplied dealers across the United States for three decades, building a reputation for product reliability and consistent dealer support.
What makes Supreme Films different from other PPF manufacturers?
Three core differentiators set us apart. First, we’re an independent manufacturer — not owned by a Fortune 500 corporation or international conglomerate. This independence allows us to make decisions focused entirely on dealer success. Second, we maintain absolute channel purity. We manufacture for dealers, never against them. Unlike competitors that operate company-owned retail installation centers competing with their own dealer networks, we have no retail shops and never will. Your customers are your customers, and we’ll never compete for their business. Third, our comprehensive training programs support dealer growth at every stage. From installation certification to our Ultra-Package startup program for new locations, we invest in the education and business success of our dealer partners. We’re a true manufacturing partner, not a competitor wearing a supplier badge.

What is self-healing PPF, and how does it work?
Self-healing paint protection film uses a specialized thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) top layer that responds to heat by returning to its original smooth state. When the film receives minor scratches or swirl marks, exposure to sunlight or hot water triggers molecular bonds in the TPU to reform, effectively erasing the damage. All Supreme Films PPF products feature our proprietary self-healing technology activated by UV exposure or warm water application. Our Gloss Ultra-Slick variant heals approximately twice as fast as our Slick-Silver entry-level film. This self-healing capability is one of the primary value propositions dealers communicate to customers — the film maintains its appearance over time rather than accumulating permanent scratches like older film technologies.
Do I need certification to install Supreme Films products?
While state licensing requirements vary by location, Supreme Films requires authorized dealers to have certified installers on staff to qualify for our 10-year manufacturer warranty. Certification ensures installations meet our quality standards and protects both the dealer’s reputation and the customer’s investment. Our training programs provide certification upon completion, and we issue dealer/installer numbers for warranty registration purposes. If you already have experienced installers, contact us to discuss certification pathways based on existing expertise. Our goal is to ensure quality installations that reflect well on both your business and our products, not to create unnecessary barriers.
What's included in Supreme Films' dealer program?
Our dealer program provides everything needed to successfully sell and install Supreme Films products. Authorized dealers receive wholesale pricing on all PPF and window tint products with flexible ordering based on your inventory needs — no restrictive minimums that force you to overstock. You’ll have access to our six training programs covering installation techniques, business operations, and growth strategies, with our lead trainer bringing 20+ years of automotive industry experience. We back every installation with our 10-year limited manufacturer warranty, giving your customers confidence and your business credibility. Unlike manufacturers that compete with dealers through retail shops, we maintain absolute channel purity — we support your success, we don’t compete for your customers. Our Colorado-based team provides ongoing technical support, product guidance, and business consulting to help you grow your installation business profitably. To learn more about partnership benefits and application requirements, call (844) 778-7736 or complete our dealer application form.
How do I start a PPF or window tint business with Supreme Films?
Starting a PPF or window tint business through Supreme Films follows a clear path. First, complete our dealer application to establish your authorized partnership — this provides access to wholesale pricing and training programs. Second, attend our installation training programs to gain hands-on certification. We offer separate courses for automotive PPF, automotive window film, commercial/residential applications, and flat glass installations. Third, for entrepreneurs launching new locations, our Ultra-Package startup program provides comprehensive business training covering location selection, showroom setup, point-of-sale systems, product displays, marketing strategies, and operational efficiency. This program functions as a complete business-in-a-box guide for new shop owners. Finally, begin serving customers with the confidence that comes from premium products, manufacturer-backed warranties, and ongoing support from a partner that invests in dealer success rather than competes with it. Startup costs vary by business model — contact us at (844) 778-7736 for detailed financial projections, training schedules, and partnership timelines specific to your goals.
Why should I choose Supreme Films over larger manufacturers like XPEL or 3M?
The choice comes down to partnership philosophy. Larger manufacturers often operate company-owned retail installation centers that directly compete with their dealer networks for customer business. Supreme Films maintains complete channel purity — we manufacture, you install, and your customers stay yours. We’re an independent company, not a division of a Fortune 500 conglomerate or a publicly traded entity with shareholder pressures. This independence allows us to make decisions focused entirely on dealer success rather than corporate growth targets that might conflict with your interests. Our 30-year Colorado manufacturing heritage provides reliability without the complexity of navigating multinational corporate structures. We offer comprehensive training programs accessible to all dealers, not restricted to top-tier partners. And our product quality — self-healing PPF with 10-year warranties, nano-ceramic window tint with up to 96% IR rejection — competes with anyone in the industry. If you want a manufacturing partner that genuinely supports independent dealers rather than viewing you as distribution channels for company-owned retail expansion, Supreme Films is built for that relationship. Call (844) 778-7736 to discuss how we’re different from the manufacturers you may have worked with before.
