love the matte finish but it is a royal PITA to maintain. No waxing, no clearcoat and every little scratch is easily seen. Great on a show car/truck, but a maintenance ***** for a street vehicle.

I would do it again on my SuperCab if the wife didn't kill me after doing it to my GT500.

We used a product called XPEL Stealth Paint Protection Film. It is a wrap, but not vinyl. It held up amazingly on the trip down the Baja. Without it I would definitely have some serious Baja pin-striping.

Also, it solves the problems associated with matte paint jobs. And it has a 7 year guarantee.

I used Lance at Clear Pro. Clear Pro Automotive Clear Bra's
He was amazing.......

Two questions about the XPEL..

1) If I wrap my vehicle with a matte wrap, I'll then use the stealth over the top as a second wrap?

2) If I were to use this stealth film over my factory paint job, it would then look like a matte Ingot Silver?

This stuff is amazing.. I love technology.. lol

Thanks,
