How much does matte PPF cost?

Matte PPF starts at $449 for a front bumper and $589 for an essential package (bumper, mirrors, door cups). Full front matte PPF ranges from $1,349–$2,199 depending on vehicle size and film. Full body matte PPF runs $4,949–$10,349. Three film options are available: FlexiShield Matte (8-year warranty), XPEL STEALTH (10-year warranty), and STEK DYNOmatte (10-year warranty). All installations include lifetime workmanship warranty.

What is matte paint protection film?

Matte PPF is a clear urethane film with a low-gloss finish that protects paint from rock chips, scratches, and UV damage while transforming a glossy factory finish into a satin or stealth look. The film is self-healing — light scratches disappear with heat from the sun or warm water. It's applied using computer-cut templates for a precise fit and installed in a climate-controlled facility.

How do I choose a good matte PPF installer?

Look for a shop with manufacturer certification, a climate-controlled installation bay, and computer-cut templates. Check Google reviews and ask to see photos of past work. A reputable shop will offer transparent pricing upfront and a workmanship warranty in addition to the film's manufacturer warranty. Avoid shops without climate control — humidity and dust cause bubbles and contamination.

Should I get matte PPF on my Tesla?

Tesla's water-based paint is thinner than traditional automotive paint, making it highly susceptible to rock chips. Since Teslas leave the factory with a gloss finish, applying matte PPF to only the front creates a visible mismatch. Most Tesla owners opt for full body coverage for a cohesive satin look. Full body matte PPF for Model 3 and Model Y starts at $5,499. Installation typically takes 4 days.

What's the difference between matte, satin, and gloss PPF?

The difference is in the finish, not the protection — all three block rock chips, scratches, and UV equally. Matte has virtually no reflectivity (under 25 gloss units). Satin has a subtle sheen between matte and gloss (roughly 30–50 gloss units). Gloss is highly reflective and invisible on factory paint. Pricing is similar across finishes.

How long does matte PPF installation take?

A full front package takes about 2 days. Full body coverage requires 4–5 days. This includes surface preparation, film application, and curing time. Quality installation can't be rushed — proper technique prevents bubbles, lifting, and contamination.

What warranty comes with matte PPF?

Every film includes a manufacturer warranty: FlexiShield carries 8 years, XPEL STEALTH carries 10 years, and STEK DYNOmatte carries 10 years. These cover yellowing, cracking, peeling, and delamination, and are transferable if you sell your vehicle. Auto Cosmetics adds a lifetime workmanship warranty on top — if bubbles, lifting, or contamination appear, repairs or replacement at no charge.

How do I care for matte PPF after installation?

Wait 48 hours before the first wash so the adhesive fully cures. After that, wash with pH-neutral soap and a microfiber mitt. Avoid automatic car washes with stiff brushes for the first 30 days. Light scratches in the self-healing topcoat disappear with sun exposure or warm water. Ceramic coating can be applied over matte PPF for extra hydrophobic protection.

Can I get colored matte PPF?

Yes — colored matte PPF lets you change your vehicle's color and protect it in one step. Unlike traditional vinyl wraps, color PPF includes self-healing technology and manufacturer warranty. Available from XPEL, STEK, and Pure PPF in 80+ colors including solids, metallics, and color-shifting finishes.

I received PPF full front and rear bumper. My last Audi was full of paint chips so I didn't want to go through that experience again. I was looking for a company that had a good reputation and a decent guarantee and ended up here. This was a great decision. Professional service.

Have had two cars done with PPF. The staff is the best answer always very pleasant to work with. Had a slight problem with one car, dirt getting under film, stopped in to show and set an appointment to have repaired. The tech came out and fixed immediately. Great customer service.
