Dravit grey matte PPF?
Hey guys
I will full PPF the M4C cab, but was thinking maybe matte would be nice. I haven't seen dravit grey with a matte ppf, would it work?? I intend to use Xpel stealth.

IMO matte ppf on Dravit will destroy what makes Dravit great. It's such an interesting color. I'd either do regular ppf or get a different color to do stealth/matte. Just my $.02.

In my opinion is not a good color to do that.
It will probably lose the gold-ish tone that is typical of Dravit.

I think if you can lose the gold flake effect by putting matte PPF on it, then thats a good thing.

Agreed with the above. I think doing matte on Dravit would make it look almost like a military vehicle. It would also take away that amazing gold hue that it picks up in the light. I'd stick with the gloss.

There are a few photos floating around of Dravit with stealth/satin ppf. I was not able to tell by looking at the photos what the outcome was with regard to the metallic tones in the paint. What I did notice is that it seemed to make the Drvait a lighter-looking shade of gray. I don't think I will do it unless the metal flake hues show through the wrap well.
Look at posts #320 & #336 in this thread... https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...803985&page=15 |

The matte will mute the color. There is more to Dravit than just the gold flakes. It can look dark grey metallic to a grey non metallic. I was walking to the car one day and it looked olive green.
