Present color PPF by finish family

  • Gloss finishes: clean, polished, and familiar for customers who want a premium paint-like look.
  • Matte and satin finishes: more understated, especially useful for customers who want a modern or stealth appearance.
  • Metallic finishes: deeper light response and stronger visual dimension.
  • Color-shift finishes: statement-oriented, ideal for customers who want the car to change character in different lighting.
  • Carbon and specialty finishes: useful for trim, accent panels, roofs, mirrors, and custom packages.

Physical samples are especially important for Color PPF. Screen images help customers narrow the direction, but samples help them understand texture, light response, and real-world finish. That is why sample kits should be part of the sales process, not just a back-office product reference.
