2026 Ford F-150 Raptor R
Paint Polish and Surface Preparation
Before any protective film is installed, the Raptor R’s paint is carefully polished to refine the finish and ensure the surface is properly prepared.
Starting with a clean, refined paint surface is an important part of achieving a high-quality PPF installation. Paint polishing helps address minor imperfections and creates the ideal foundation for the layers of protection that follow.
Full Coverage XPEL Paint Protection Film
Once the paint has been properly prepared, ESOTERIC is applying full coverage XPEL Paint Protection Film (PPF)to the Raptor R.
A truck designed for high performance and aggressive driving deserves serious protection. Full coverage XPEL PPF provides a physical barrier over the painted surfaces, helping protect the factory finish from road debris, rock chips, scratches, and other hazards encountered on the road.
This Raptor R is also receiving selected graphic removal, allowing the final appearance of the truck to be customized while maintaining the clean, aggressive character of the Raptor R.
Ceramic Coating After PPF Installation
With the XPEL PPF installed, the next stage of the process is ceramic coating the body.
Applying ceramic coating over the completed PPF installation adds another layer of protection while creating a slick, easy-to-maintain surface. The combination of PPF and ceramic coating brings together physical impact protection with the benefits of a coated surface.
The wheels are also receiving ceramic coating, helping make brake dust and road contamination easier to remove from the wheel surfaces.
Windshield PPF and Custom Window Tint
The glass package on this Raptor R combines appearance and protection.
ESOTERIC is installing Windshield PPF to help protect the windshield from road debris, along with:
- 50% windshield tint
- 15% side window tint
- 70% sunroof tint
The combination creates a cohesive appearance while giving the truck a distinctly customized look.
22″ VOSSEN HF6-4 Wheels in Satin Black
Completing the exterior transformation is a set of 22-inch VOSSEN HF6-4 wheels in Satin Black.
The HF6-4’s modern styling and satin black finish complement the aggressive design of the Raptor R while giving the truck a more customized presence. Paired with ceramic-coated wheel surfaces, the new setup combines visual impact with easier maintenance.
A Complete Raptor R Protection Package
From paint preparation through final delivery, this 2026 Ford F-150 Raptor R is receiving a carefully sequenced protection package at ESOTERIC.
Paint polishing prepares the finish, full coverage XPEL PPF provides physical paint protection, and ceramic coating after PPF installation adds another layer of protection and easier maintenance. Windshield PPF, custom window tint, selected graphic removal, and 22-inch VOSSEN HF6-4 wheels complete the transformation.
The result is a Raptor R that is not only customized to its owner’s preferences, but thoroughly protected and finished to ESOTERIC standards.
