Guest Tim Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Hi, I did my first matte ppf which was with xpel matte ppf. Everything went very well but after 2 week when I did a check up on the car everything looked fine but near the mirrors I noticed a little spot. The car had a factory matte paint. If that makes a diffrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alberts316 Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Pics? You're post is kinda vague about what is happening to the mirrors? You put matte ppf over matte paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 I would never put film on a matte paint job, removals will be an issue since you can't use adhesive remover on those finishes. alberts316 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRuski Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 I'vee had 0 issues removing ppf from matte paint including 3 years old film on a lamborghini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Our weather is a bit different down here in Hotlanta. We had 97 days in a row this summer over 90 degrees. After nearly twenty years doing PPF, I've seen what a nightmare removals can be on ordinary paint, hours and hours of scraping and adhesive remover soaking the glue. I'll never have to worry about doing that to a matte surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it depends on what ppf you are using Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 why the matte paint needs a matte ppf ? if with clear ppf, will be different effect ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
