PPF picture request
Has anyone with Selenite Grey Metallic paint had xpel matte ppf applied and if so would you please post a few pictures? I currently have this color and am considering the matte ppf.

also has anyone with ppf had ceramic coating done on top as well? Was it worth it or no?

thanks!

As far as coating, GTechniq HALO is my choice on top of PPF. 2 coats, SUPER easy to work with.

Looks like it basically mimics Selenite Grey Magno, which is about what I expected.

My neighbor had his E63 done in matt XPEL and it looks great, everyone thinks it's factory. I did my magno brilliant blue with the matt ppf and it is top notch

My Magno Blue was done with 3m. The shop that I use does xpel as well and thinks the 3m has a more closer sheen over the Xpel. Couldn't be happier with the product and job done

I was looking into that if there was a difference between the two in sheen. I did not find it, i thought they both took a bit of the RICHNESS away from the factory Magno.

I've got xpel stealth on my selenite grey magno, and I really do not like it. Removes sheen and changes the look of the paint. I won't do it again!

Suntek PPF-Matte on designo Selenite Grey Mango matte paint looks great, no real difference to color, etc
And the way I look at it, a car that’s more a fixture in the garage rarely driven, never driven hard, no PPF needed, but if ever driving, I don’t mind a bit of a texture, sheen, color manipulation to save a scratch, etc, especially on matte paint.
