To Satin PPF or Not... Help...

So getting my truck fixed up after the hail storm we had a few weeks ago. The owner of the shop does PPF (Paint Protective Film) and has a nice convertible R8 that is light gray and it has the satin PPF on it and it looks nice. So he said let's do your truck. He did half the finder to see what it would look like. What do you guys think? Should I do it?

 

I like that

 

I like it.

 

This is the owners R8 and his i8. Both Satin wrapped.

 

Definitely different. Will make it look more rugged in my opinion.

 

Yeah they both look sweet. That R8. My dream car.

 

I really like that matte look. I say go for it and post pics when it's done!

 

Looks like I'm in the wrong business damn!

 

Yeah you and me both.

 

I prefer shine. That being said do what makes you happy.

 

Don't go off road driving through brush and branches. PPF won't buff out like paint will, I'm thinking.

 

From what I've seen the scratches will come right out with heat. It's what they call self healing. And I guess that would depend on how deep the scratches too.

 

I love that look...

Did he quote a price for doing the truck?

 

I like how the satin creates smooth gradients and really accentuates the body lines. I say go for it

 

Normal price @ $5k. $1,500 for me.

 

DO IT! Especially at that price. It's gonna look epic. Very original and distinctive.

 

Mi gusta muy bueno!

 

Just do it!!!!

 

At first glance I thought no, but the more I look at it the more I like it. I have regular SunTek PPF on the front end of my truck and I will say it is holding up great. My question is longevity. Based on your use of the truck, do you know how long it will last? I know vinyl vehicles wrap have a certain life expectancy.

 

That looks pretty rad imo.

Kind of like the thought of what I may be able to do on a cement color. Never heard of that before. If you go through with it, make sure to post up plenty of photos

 

I would do it

 

It's nice, but not for me ... at least if you get tired of it you can unwrap it.

 

Hell yes. Peel it off in 5 years and have brand new paint.

 

Who's making the PPF? XPEL?

I say do it... looks badass and he's doing it for a killer price.

 

yup

 

My first thought was, "no way." But, looking at the photo, I really like it. It's unique and I think your Blue is probably the best Tundra color to do the satin on.

 

I struggle with the idea that a film is worth $5k. Find the right guy and you could get the entire truck painted for $5k.

 

It is a very neat look tho. Like it on the blue.

 

Do it!!

 

This is what it will look like.
