The guarantee
Five promises no other Vancouver studio puts in writing.
Anyone can promise a flawless wrap. Here is what we put in writing before your car arrives, and what you can hold us to for the ten years after it leaves.
Your paint stays factory
Rock chips off the Sea-to-Sky, winter grit, road rash and car-park scuffs stop at the film, not at the paint. When you come to sell, the panels underneath are still the ones the factory sprayed.
Inspect before you pay
You see the finished work under bright inspection lighting and approve it before a cent changes hands. If it isn't right, it doesn't leave, and you don't pay for it. The risk sits with us, never with you.
Applied & inspected by the owner
Every vehicle is hand-applied and final-checked by Onyx, the founder. Never a rotating bench of junior techs. One set of hands, fully accountable to you.
Collected from your door, on request
Enclosed-trailer collection and return is available on request across West Vancouver, Shaughnessy and Coal Harbour. Your car never sees a public road in the wrong hands.
STEK & PROTEK film, warranted in your name
Finished in STEK DYNOshield or Canadian-made PROTEK. Premium, self-healing film engineered for the wet coast, with a manufacturer warranty of up to ten years against yellowing, cracking and lifting, registered to you.
We are called RainCity because we protect cars on the wettest coast in Canada, where lesser film yellows, cracks and lifts.
Gravel on the Sea-to-Sky · winter grit · months of rainThe distinction
What sets the finish apart is what you never notice.
Our protection asks nothing of your eye. It simply holds the paintwork as it left the factory, through every Vancouver winter, every gravel backroad, every careless car park.
A self-healing finish
Light marks and swirls lift away with warmth, so the surface keeps its depth and clarity for years.
Applied entirely by hand
Each panel is tailored and edge-wrapped with care. No lifted edges, no visible seam.
A manufacturer-backed warranty
STEK and PROTEK film, fitted to a meticulous standard and warranted for up to ten years, in your name.

The process
Unhurried, from first conversation to final inspection.
Most of what separates a flawless wrap from an average one happens before the film ever touches the car. Here is how yours is handled.
Consultation
We discuss coverage and finish, then send a clear, fixed proposal. Usually the same day.
Collection & prep
We collect on request, then wash and clay-decontaminate the car to a flawless state on site.
Application
Each piece is pattern-cut and hand-wrapped around every edge by Onyx. No shortcuts, no exposed seams.
Inspection & return
You inspect the finished car under bright inspection lighting and approve it before you pay. Then it's returned to you, flawless.

Rated 5.0 on Google
Early clients, perfect scores.
“I apply and inspect every car myself. If it carries my name, it carries my standard. If it isn't perfect when you see it, it doesn't leave.”
— Onyx, founder
Every car we've protected so far has left a five-star review on Google. RainCity is owner-run, by appointment: a limited number of cars each month, each handled personally from first conversation to final inspection.
The assurance
If it is not flawless, we do not call it done.
Trust is earned, so we've made the decision easy for you. A clear price up front. A manufacturer-backed warranty in writing. A final inspection you approve before you settle. Paint that still looks new in five years. No surprises, no pressure, no risk on your side.
We accept a limited number of commissions each month, strictly by appointment.

The things owners ask us first.
Does paint protection film help when I sell the car?
It's one of the few things that does. A buyer looking at a five-year-old car sees the front end first, and chipped, sandblasted paint is the fastest way to lose money on a sale. Under film, those panels are still factory. Peel it off and the paint is as it left the line.
Do you collect and return my car?
On request, we arrange enclosed-trailer collection and return across West Vancouver, Shaughnessy, Coal Harbour and the wider Vancouver area, so you never have to drive it to us. Just ask when you book.
What film do you use?
STEK DYNOshield and Canadian-made PROTEK. Both are premium, self-healing films built for the wet coast, with a manufacturer warranty of up to ten years against yellowing, cracking and lifting, registered in your name.
Can I see the work before I pay?
Yes. You inspect the finished car under bright inspection lighting and approve it before you pay a cent. If it's not right, you don't pay.
How long does paint protection film last?
Quality film, properly fitted and cared for, lasts roughly five to ten years. Ours carries a manufacturer-backed warranty of up to ten years against yellowing, cracking and lifting.
Will it yellow or look obvious over time?
Modern self-healing film is optically clear and designed not to yellow. Fitted by hand and wrapped around the edges, it's effectively invisible. Most people never notice it's there.
Why a starting price instead of one fixed number?
Because a 911 and a Cullinan are not the same job. The film, the curves and the coverage all differ, so we give you an honest starting point here and confirm your exact figure, with no obligation, at the consultation.
Where are you located?
We are currently a fully mobile service: we come to your home or office across Vancouver, the North Shore and the West Side, by appointment, while our permanent studio is prepared.
