My G99 is currently undergoing full Xpel stealth ppf to simulate that oem deep frozen gray while protecting the car …. Job not finished yet but just posting the big difference ! What do you guys think ?

It looks like FDG!

[matowi]

Love it!

[Khoispring]

Yes!!!

Very similar to DFG but I will say little lighter color
The DFG is darker and has more depth in to it but not a huge difference
Enjoy! (Coming from DFG owner)

Agree! DFG although satin has a kind of sparkle in it while being richer and darker …but I heard very easy to scratch paint so instead of full ppf DFG with clear and lose the beauty of the paint or stealth ppf it but the to arrive at the same finish as mine after paying extra for individual color …I thought it made more sense not to order frozen

Is this PPF a transparent matte finish that makes the color you have right now matte? Or does it cover the color of the paint entirely?

Transparent so it’s job is to protect and alter the finish from gloss to satin

ppf stealth wrap is just the same as clear gloss vinyl ppf but with a matte, satin or other finish instead of a glossy/shiny sheen. Few different manufactures of the film and they all differ a little or offer a little different sheen/finish. but the actual color of the paint is showing through the matte clear wrap.

In my case i ppfed the front bumper and hood only and ceramic coated the whole car
To be honest the paint is not that easy to scratch as you think , it is more like the pain to repaint/repair if it got scratched
This is my first frozen paint experience so will see how it will go and if I will repeat it again

I also leased the car so that goes into play I guess

Oh so you ppf only the front with a satin stealth ppf ? Is there a difference in the finish looking from the side from the ppf front to the frozen oem sides ? You have pics ?

Yup stealth ppf front and hood only
Ceramic coated the whole car
You can not tell ppf is there even me knowing that

Satin PPF is the right way to do it if you don't want to stress about repairing some scratches on a frozen paint.

Damn this M5 is getting sexier. Especially in this matte finish
