Some projects are memorable because of the vehicle. Others are memorable because of the story behind it. This 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage gave us both. Over nearly a decade at Speed Projects Laboratory, we’ve worked with customers who have travelled significant distances to visit us in Richmond—from Vancouver Island to Northern Canada and even […]
Buying a brand-new vehicle after driving the same one for more than 15 years is a major change. For the owners of this 2026 Kia EV5, that change was even bigger: they weren’t simply replacing their longtime Nissan Murano—they were making the move into a new generation of fully electric vehicles. Their children already drive […]
New vehicles may leave the dealership with flawless paint, but that finish immediately becomes exposed to rock chips, road debris, bug impacts and everyday wear once the vehicle hits the road. Recently, two brand-new 2026 Toyotas arrived at Speed Projects Laboratory in Richmond for paint protection: a 2026 Toyota RAV4 PHEV and a 2026 Toyota […]
The Ford Bronco Stroppe Edition already stands out before any modifications are made. Its heritage-inspired multi-colour exterior combines bold gloss-painted panels with contrasting satin-finished surfaces. That combination also created an interesting paint protection challenge: one type of PPF wasn’t the right solution for the entire vehicle. For this special Bronco, our SPL2 Paint Protection & […]
A Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is the kind of car where performance, appearance, and preservation all matter. For this 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, the owner wanted to address all three. Rather than splitting the project between different specialty shops, the vehicle received a combination of mechanical, performance, and paint protection services at Speed Projects Laboratory in […]
Some of the most rewarding projects we complete are for clients who continue to trust us with each new vehicle they add to their collection. This Ruby Star Neo Porsche 911 GT3 Touring marks the fourth vehicle we have protected for this particular client. Previously, our team worked on his Audi SQ7, Porsche Taycan Turbo […]
With super-sedan performance, aggressive styling, and distinctive body lines, the 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is the type of vehicle owners want to drive — and preserve. We recently protected this 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing at Speed Projects Laboratory with full-body matte Paint Protection Film. Because this particular vehicle features a factory matte/satin paint finish, the […]
Some vehicles are built to stay clean in garages. Others are built to be used. The Ineos Grenadier falls firmly into the second category. Recently, a repeat client returned to Speed Projects Laboratory with his brand-new Ineos Grenadier for a full body Paint Protection Film installation using XPEL Stealth film. Having trusted us with previous […]
For many Porsche owners, protecting the paint is just as important as enjoying the driving experience itself. Recently, Speed Projects Laboratory completed a Paint Protection Film installation on this brand-new 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera using what is commonly referred to in the industry as a “Track Package” PPF configuration. This package focuses on protecting the […]
Introduction The newly redesigned Toyota RAV4 has officially arrived, and with updated styling, new body lines, and revised front-end design, protecting these surfaces early is more important than ever. Recently, we worked on two brand new 2026 Toyota RAV4s at Speed Projects Laboratory: Both vehicles received Paint Protection Film (PPF) packages tailored to the owner’s […]
