Matte PPF questions
How much is the deposit for matte PPF?
A $200 deposit holds your matte PPF appointment, the same as clear paint protection film. For some jobs we ask for half of the invoice at drop-off, and the remaining balance is due at pickup.
What is matte PPF?
Matte PPF is paint protection film with a flat, satin-style finish. It protects your paint from rock chips and scratches like clear PPF does, and it changes how the paint looks from glossy to matte.
Does matte PPF change my car's color?
No. Your paint color stays the same, but the finish goes from glossy to matte or satin. If you want a different color, see color change PPF or vehicle wraps.
Is matte PPF better than a matte vinyl wrap?
They do different jobs. Matte PPF is a protective film that takes rock chips and scratches. A matte vinyl wrap changes the look and gives little impact protection. Tell us what matters more and we'll point you to the right one.
Can I put matte PPF on only part of my car?
Yes. Many customers choose a full front, which covers the full hood, front fenders, front bumper, headlights and mirror caps, with edges wrapped where possible. Others do the whole car, or just the mirrors or roof. Text us the panels you have in mind.
Does LLumar Platinum Matte PPF self-heal?
LLumar says surface scratches on its Platinum Matte film can heal with heat from your engine or sunlight.
What warranty does LLumar Platinum Matte PPF have?
LLumar lists a 10-year manufacturer's limited warranty on its Platinum Matte film, with certain restrictions. Ask us for the details before you book.
How do I wash a matte finish?
Hand wash with gentle soap and avoid wax, polish and automatic brush washes. We give you full care instructions at pickup.
How much does matte PPF cost?
On a sedan, full body LLumar Platinum Matte PPF starts at $6,999 and a full front starts at $2,299, both out the door (tax included). SUVs and trucks start higher, up to $8,999 for a full body truck. The final price depends on your car and how much of it you cover, so text us the year, make and model for an exact quote.
