PPF Northcote
PPF near Northcote
Liquid R serves Northcote and the rest of Melbourne’s north from one workshop in Mitcham, about 23.4 km away and roughly 35 minutes by car outside peak hour. PPF, the clear film that stops stone chips, starts at $180 for headlights and runs to $5980 for every painted panel, with a full front from $1980.
The film is a clear urethane layer with a self-healing top coat, so light scratches relax out in the sun. We fit it in our own indoor bays, with the maker’s warranty on the film and ours on the installation, plus a free check in the first month.
Prices are the same wherever you live: the quote depends on the car, not the postcode. Call 1800 985 880 or text 0483 930 888 to book.

Getting Here from Northcote
The run from Northcote to Cook Road in Mitcham is about 23.4 km via Eastern Freeway. Outside peak hour that is around 35 minutes, and you park on site when you arrive. Directions and opening hours are on our contact page.
Headlight Film from $180
Polycarbonate headlight lenses yellow and pit, and a modern headlight unit can cost more than a full front of film. Precut clear film keeps them clear and goes on in under an hour while you wait.
Full Front PPF from $1980
Bonnet, front bumper, guards and mirrors in self-healing film, about two days in the workshop. Freeway gravel lands almost entirely on the front third of a car, which is why most daily drivers stop here.
Freeway Kilometres on Eastern Freeway
Coming from Northcote usually means time on Eastern Freeway. Sitting behind traffic at freeway speed is the classic recipe for a chipped bonnet edge and a pitted bumper, which is why a full front is where most commuters start.
Edges Wrapped, Not Cut Short
The edge is the weak point of any film job. Where the panel allows it, film is wrapped around the edge and finished out of sight, so there is no line to see and nothing for a pressure washer to lift. It is one of the checks in our guide to the best PPF.
Northcote Customers, One Workshop
We are not a mobile service and we do not have a Northcote shopfront. The work is done in Mitcham because PPF needs dust-free bays, inspection lighting and time, all of which a driveway lacks. More about who we are, and if you are comparing shops, our guide to the best PPF in Melbourne lists what to check.
Planning the Visit
Headlight film is under an hour, a full front about two days and full body film about a week. For Northcote customers we line up drop-off and pickup times when you book, so you know exactly which days the car is with us. We are open weekdays 8:30am to 5:00pm and Saturdays to 12:30pm.
Full Body PPF at $5980
Every painted panel in clear film, so doors, sills and the rear bumper get what the nose gets. It suits new deliveries, expensive factory colours and cars you plan to keep. Allow about a week.

Visted Jacky and the team to get package 4 treatment for my Zeekr 7x. First time getting PPF, ceramic coating and window tinting on my car and could not be happier by the results. I highly recommend Jacky and his team.
Thomas O
I Had my car cut and polished by Liquid R and can’t recommend these guys highly enough! Jacky thoroughly inspected the car and explained to me what needed to happen and the job was done really well. He also went through the proper washing and maintenance process for my car. Bobby was also very helpful when I picked up the car. Thanks guys!
Arash Koopal
I had a ceramic coating and a paint protection film (PPF) package applied by Liquid R, with Jacky and Bob overseeing the process. I am very pleased with the results. After I dropped off my car at Liquid R one night, I noticed through the My Toyota App that my 2025 Toyota LC 300 was parked in a different location.

5 stars not enough for these guys. 6 star service!!! Bobby and Jacky are a delight to deal with and share the same passion and attention to detail as car enthusiasts themselves. Great communication and customer care. The work, tinting, ceramic and PPF as well as detailing was spotless and the best work I’ve seen done. Recommended to all my friends. Competitive pricing. Thanks for sorting out my e63s!

Jackie was super helpful from the very start. He was able to work his availability around my shift work roster. Perfect communication about products and price and fully transparent, no secret costs or upselling. Jackie obviously takes pride in his workmanship and it shows. Would recommend his services to anyone. For reference I had package 3 applied to a new vehicle and it looks better than the day I took delivery…
Mitchell Potts

No. Every price is the same wherever you live. The quote depends on the car and the work, never the postcode.
Every job is done at our Mitcham workshop. Film, coatings and tint need clean indoor bays and proper lighting, which a driveway cannot give, and that is what our results depend on.
Headlight film starts at $180, the wear and tear pack at $380, a full front at $1980 and full body clear film is $5980. Larger vehicles and complex bodywork are quoted individually.
No. Professionally removed film releases with heat and leaves factory paint as it was when covered.
