I had high expectations that it'll look like the pics & videos of factory Frozen Portimao Blue but it looked more dull/matte than frozen/satin!

I know it's hard to judge unless you're looking at the completed car or at least a couple of completed panels, but I didn't want to get to the point of no return unless I was 100% confident! I took it outside and looked under natural light but still wasn't convinced.

I was really looking forward to go in that direction but maybe the stealth look is just not for me! Y'all's cars look sick in this thread though!
I think going with the clear PPF was a good choice.
It makes the car pop
Let me know how everything turns out. Would love to see some close-up pics of the edges and seams.
Me too! Hope turns out great!
