Stealth PPF Pictures

Anyone out there with stealth PPF? Let’s see some pictures.

Frozen paints look amazing, but wondering if stealth PPF can create the “frozen” look and protect the paint at the same time for less cost.

In progress. Depending on where you are, a stealth PPF wrap is going to cost you more than the $4,000 frozen paint option. I'm paying a little over $5K for a full PPF wrap on mine and I'm getting a deal.

Full clear wrap of XPEL in Southern California will cost me 10K.

You would want to PPF frozen paint anyway so you're still coming out ahead.

That's nuts. I paid $7k for my F-Type in CT and thought that was a little high.

I won't be doing a full clear wrap. Just the high impact areas. The car will be driven on the weekends ONLY.

That's the going rate for XPEL in the midwest, too.

I was quoted right at $7K here in North Texas multiple times for full stealth PPF.

If you haven’t gotten it done yet let me know. I am going to see a shop that has a M4 done and it’s way cheaper than that. I should be going by there Tuesday.

Cost me $6k in RI. Also quoted $5k but I wasn't as confident in their capabilities.

I'm seriously considering stealth PPF on my Portimao Blue M3 when it arrives. I love Frozen Portimao and wondering if xpel stealth will give me a 90% match. Anyone seen portimao with stealth?

I know someone in the business so I'll get a killer deal.

Same - This helps a lot. I don't think I would have thrown down for the full wrap otherwise.

I am not intending to troll here, I am legitimately curious about cost/benefit of frozen paint as I think they look really good.
That said, my provocative question:
Would it be cheaper to lease the car, let it accumulate wear to the paint, and just recycle it for another freshly painted car in 3 years vs paying $4k or more to protect the paint?

Seeing the other colours with xpel stealth madd Portimao + full stealth an easy Plan B. This is the thread that did it for me:

So are you going that route? I remember seeing it on IOMG and it looked nice.

No

It was Plan B if i didn't get Santorini approved and a "guarantee" it would be delivered by end-of-year.

I like Portimao and matte/satin finishes, but it is a little darker than I want. But, I was picking from the standard colours I'd 100% do Portimao and stealth wrap.

I've done xpel Stealth on several cars and will be doing a full wrap when my AWD m4 arrives in august. Full stealth wrap cost me $6200 on my Raptor and $5800 on my x4m. It's much easier to repair xpel stealth than frozen BMW color. Here is a pic of my raptor
