Satin and Matte Paint Protection Film Wraps: Transform The Appearance Of Your Vehicle
Many people are looking for ways to make their car stand out from the rest and converting from a gloss to satin or matte finish is growing in popularity as an easy way to achieve this.
What are Satin Paint Protection Films?
Traditional glossy PPF wraps simply add an extra protective layer over your vehicle’s existing paint. Matte and satin PPF wraps go a step further by completely changing the texture and finish of your paint. Matte wraps provide a flat, non-reflective finish that gives your vehicle a smooth yet eye-catching look. Satin wraps split the difference between glossy and matte by providing a lower sheen finish that is less reflective than gloss but not completely flat like matte.
Why Choose a Matte or Satin Wrap?
There are a few key reasons matte and satin finishes have become so popular:
Unique Style – The non-traditional matte or satin finishes allow you to give your vehicle a custom and unique look that stands out from standard glossy finishes.
Lower Maintenance – Matte and satin finishes do a better job of hiding small scratches, swirls, and other imperfections compared to high-gloss paint that shows every flaw.
Protection – Like standard glossy PPF wraps, the matte and satin versions provide excellent protection against rocks, salt, minor dings, and other environmental damage.
The Wrapping Process
Having your vehicle wrapped in matte or satin PPF is very similar to having it wrapped in a glossy or color-change film. An installer will meticulously measure, cut, and apply the film panels piece-by-piece over your vehicle’s existing paint job. With high quality films, the installation process helps hide seams and provides a smooth, uniform matte or satin finish from panel to panel. The process typically takes 1-2 days for most vehicles.
The Films Last for Years
Quality matte and satin PPF wraps are incredibly durable and built to last for many years, with most manufacturers offering warranties of 5-10 years. The films are treated to resist staining, fading, and other forms of degradation. Yet when it eventually does come time to remove the wrap, the removal process is relatively easy and won’t damage your vehicle’s factory paint underneath.
If you’re ready to change your vehicle’s look in a major way, considering going matte or satin with a paint protection film wrap. It’s a great way to enjoy a unique new style while still keeping your paint protected for years to come.
