Matte (Stealth) PPF examples on G Class
Hi, I've got a regular metallic black G550 that I want to wrap with matte (Xpel Stealth) PPF. Has anyone done a similar conversion before, and can provide some detailed pictures?
Since the G has many exposed hinges (doors and hood), I'm wondering how the matte PPF will turn out, since those parts will likely need to stay unwrapped, and 'gloss black' next to matte panels. I'm wondering if it looks odd...
Thanks in advance!

Here is my G63 wrapped in Stealth. It gets the job done, but very close up, you can tell that it's a wrap which I think is acceptable considering the many details. The G63 is one of, if not the hardest vehicles to wrap. If you're going to do wrap it, PLEASE don't use a cheaper installer. In this case, there is a much higher potential for areas to fail and leave you disappointed if they are not a experienced/detail oriented installer. I plan on powder coating my exhaust tips, and maybe my brush guard. I kinda like the gloss contrast at the moment.

Looks great from that distance!
What would you say are the trouble areas when looking up close? Aside from the exposed hinges, any other areas that don’t look great up-close?

What is the OEM color here? Is this Obsidian with a matte stealth wrap; or is this a matte finish with a clear wrap? Looks good!
