PPF on matte paint: what changes

Matte and satin finishes cannot be polished, so film is the only protection that does not alter the finish — if the film itself is matte.

Use matte film

Standard gloss film will make a matte panel look satin-glossy. You need a matte or satin PPF line, which costs 10–25% more.

Care

Matte film cannot be waxed or polished. Wash with pH-neutral shampoo and avoid automatic brushes.

Removal risk

On factory matte paint, removal must be done carefully — adhesive sits differently on matte clear coat. Ask for removal terms in writing.
