Stealth Paint Protection Film
Lose the gloss.
Keep the paint.
Frost is an 8 mil clear film with a matte topcoat. It transforms a glossy finish, protects a matte one, and takes the stone chips either way — without touching the colour underneath.

PURE PPF Frost
8 mil clear TPU
12-year warranty
Frost is the same 8 mil TPU we fit clear, with a matte topcoat instead of a gloss one. It is formulated texture-free, so there is none of the grain or uneven light diffusion older matte films show — and the colour underneath stays exactly the colour you bought.

01 — Why Frost
Nothing else
does both.
A wrap changes how the car looks and leaves the paint exposed. Clear film protects the paint and leaves it looking exactly as it did. Frost is the one that does both at once.
If your car is gloss
A different car, for the price of protecting one. Frost takes your factory colour matte — deeper, flatter, no shine — and every panel it covers goes behind 8 mil of urethane. You are not choosing between the new look and maximum stone chip resistance. And it peels back to gloss whenever you want it to.
If your car is already matte
Bare matte paint is the most fragile finish on the road. It cannot be polished, it marks from one bad wash, and a chipped panel means a respray that will not match. Frost puts a healing, warranted surface over the top and takes all three problems away.

Frost going onto factory matte paint. The colour is the car’s own — the film is there to keep it that way.
How the film is built
Four layers, three of which stay on your car. The release liner comes off as we fit, leaving adhesive, urethane and topcoat working together — the urethane takes the impact, the topcoat takes the weather.

02 — Satin vinyl vs Stealth PPF
Same Look.
Different material.
Both give you a satin car. One covers the paint with a colour of its own, the other leaves your paint exactly where it is. Here is what separates them.
Satin vinyl wrap
Cast PVC with satin laminate
Stealth PPF
PURE PPF Frost clear TPU
Thickness
2–4 mil (50–100 microns) including laminate
8 mil (around 200 microns) — four times thicker
The colour underneath
Covered. The satin you see is the vinyl’s own colour, and your paint is hidden behind it
Unchanged. The film is clear, so you are looking at your own paint with the shine taken off
Stone chip protection
Superficial. Shields the paint from weather, light abrasion and wash marks, but a stone hard enough to chip paint still gets through
Absorbs the impact. Exactly the same protection as gloss PPF
Self-healing
No — and unlike a gloss wrap, satin vinyl cannot be machine polished to remove marks either
Yes. Heat closes scuffs within the topcoat and restores 100% of its matte finish
Keeping the sheen even
Handles, door edges and high-touch areas burnish over time and start to shine against the rest of the panel
A texture-free topcoat with no grain or uneven diffusion — it stays consistent across the panel and heals back to it
Washing
pH-neutral shampoo and two buckets, no wax or polish, and nothing that fills the texture
The same rules, with a hydrophobic topcoat doing half the work for you
Lifespan
Around 5 years, longer on a garaged car that is looked after
12 years, warranted
Warranty
Manufacturer cover on the material, our fitting alongside
12-year PURE PPF limited manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking and bubbling
The paint underneath
Minor superficial protection. It keeps the weather and light abrasion off, but stone chips still reach the paint
Protected the whole time. Comes off original and unchipped

One finish, over whatever colour the car already is

04 — After it is fitted
Satin asks more of you.
So heres some useful aftercare.
SUPPORT EVEN AFTER THE INSTALL.
There is no polishing a satin finish back, so how it is washed matters more than it does on gloss. Everything that keeps it even is done here, in the unit that fitted it.
Every 6-12 months
Every 6-12 months
The Identity maintenance wash
A full service for the film, not a jet wash and a chamois. Half a day with the car on the ramp, done by the team that fitted it.
- Full decontamination and safe two-bucket wash
- Every edge, shut line and wrapped corner inspected
- Anything lifting re-sealed while it is with us
- Topcoat heated to close scuffs and even the sheen back up
- Condition photographed and kept on file for your warranty
Two a year is what keeps a twelve-year film looking like a one-year film. Most owners book the next one before they leave.

Washing a satin car
Seven days before the first wash, then pH-neutral shampoo and two buckets — and nothing with wax, gloss or filler in it.
- Why polish, wax and glaze are off the list for good
- Drying without dragging shine into the finish
- Bird lime, fuel and tar dealt with before they mark
Add-on
Gtechniq HALOv2
A ceramic coating formulated for film rather than paint. It bonds chemically to the Frost topcoat and becomes the outermost surface of it, flexible enough to move with the film and keep the self-healing working.
- Safe on self-healing film — the heal still works underneath
- Tested on matte and satin film — adds no gloss
- Low surface energy — water and dirt let go, so it stays clean
- Cuts staining from dirt ingress and yellowing from UV
- Two years per application, single coat, fitted here
If the worst happens
Replaced panel by panel
Take a bad hit and only that piece needs redoing. Not the whole car, and not your paint.
Frost is one consistent finish rather than a batch colour, so a panel done years later still matches the rest of the car.
Owners who had film fitted here get help with all three after the install — ask us and we will tell you what your car actually needs, not what sells.

Recent work
in Frost.
Finished in PURE PPF Frost at our Kent unit. Nothing here is a colour change — every panel is the paint the car was built with.
06 — The paint underneath
The finish is
temporary.
The paint is not.
A satin respray is permanent and a satin wrap hides what it is sitting on. Film does neither: peel it and the car is gloss again, on the paint it left the factory with.
Resale
Satin narrows the buyer pool. Peel the film and it does not — the car goes back to standard gloss, on original, unchipped paint.
Lease handback
End-of-contract damage charges average around £300 and run past £750. Film comes off before the inspection and the paint underneath passes fair wear and tear.
Removal
Heat and patience, done here. Twelve years of stone chips leave with the film instead of staying in your clear coat.
Already wrapped with us?
Factory matte paint is the hardest finish to live with and the most expensive to repair, and a matte repair rarely matches the panels either side. Frost is built to go over it, protecting the paint and taking the risk of a repaint mismatch off the table.
Satin vinyl or Stealth PPF?
If you want satin in a different colour to the one the car came in, or the lowest up-front cost, a vinyl wrap is the right buy. If you want your own paint turned satin, protected against stone chips and warranted for twelve years, Stealth PPF is worth the difference. We fit both and will give you a straight answer for your car.
Will it change my colour?
No. The film is clear, so the colour is your paint. What changes is the reflection: a satin surface scatters light instead of mirroring it, which reads as a slightly deeper, flatter version of the same colour. Metallics and flake still show, they just stop sparkling in direct sun.
Can it go on a car that is already matte?
Yes — Frost is designed for it. Factory matte paint cannot be polished, marks easily and costs a fortune to put right, and a matte repair rarely matches the panels either side. Frost protects it, keeps the finish matte, and gives you a surface that heals with heat instead of one that has to be resprayed.
Does the paint need correcting first?
A strip and decontamination wash are included. Anything sealed under the film stays under the film, and satin is less forgiving of it than gloss — swirls and scratches read through as dull patches. If the paint needs correction we quote it separately and show you what it gains before you commit.
Can I mix satin and gloss?
Yes. A satin roof and bonnet over a gloss body is a common ask, as is Frost on the front end with clear gloss film on the rest of the car. Tell us the split you want and we will price it as one job.
How long is the car with you?
Around a week for a full car, less for a front end or track pack, longer on complex cars where more trim comes off. We agree the dates when the quote is fixed.
Do I have to tell my insurer?
The colour on your V5C does not change, so there is nothing to update with the DVLA. Your insurer should still be told, as with any modification — it is a five-minute call and we will give you the film details for it.
Turn the shine off.
Keep the paint.
Tell us the car and how much of it you want covered. We will come back with a fixed price, the film details and the next available slot.
Not sure how satin will look on your colour? Bring the car down. We will put a sample of Frost on a panel and you can see it against the gloss before you commit.
