About Us

When people see a perfectly protected supercar, they notice the shine, the finish, and the flawless paint. What they do not see is the obsession behind it that built AP3 into one of the top names for PPF in Atlanta. Founder Tiaan Krige discovered that obsession early, moving from car washes to exotic dealerships where he learned the unforgiving art of paint protection film on McLarens, Lamborghinis, and Aston Martins. What began as a fascination with “peak brilliance” quickly became a mission: build a company where craftsmanship mattered more than shortcuts.

The early days of AP3 were anything but glamorous. Tiaan worked brutal 80-hour weeks out of an almost empty shop furnished with little more than a plastic lawn chair and a laptop. Without his own plotting machine, he would prep cars, drive across town to borrow equipment, cut film patterns, and race back to finish installs late into the night. It was pure grit, fueled by a growing reputation among Atlanta’s car enthusiasts who recognized something rare: someone willing to outwork everyone else in pursuit of perfection.

That relentless standard transformed AP3 from a one-man hustle into one of the country’s premier paint protection brands. Today, with multiple locations and a 20-person team, AP3 protects everything from daily drivers to exotic collections. But growth never changed the philosophy. AP3 built its name through reputation, not convenience, choosing elite craftsmanship over being the “cheaper and closer” option. Every detail matters, from partnering with XPEL for industry-leading technology to hiring technicians defined by patience, pride, and the willingness to start over if something isn’t perfect.

At its core, AP3 isn’t just about protecting paint—it’s about preserving emotion. The feeling of seeing your dream car under perfect lighting. The confidence of knowing it will stay that way for years. The excitement of driving home feeling like your car is brand new all over again. A decade after its founding, AP3 has become more than a shop; it’s a name woven into Atlanta’s automotive culture, proving that when passion and precision collide, reputation becomes legacy.
