Looks amazing. That satin finish really suits the curves of the rear fenders.

I don’t understand why paint correct then cover the shine? Am I missing something.

Looks good but I would get rid of the side "Endurance Racing Edition" stickers and change the headlight nozzles to matte black to match the rest of the car.

They like to make sure the scratches are out and paint is perfect ( as it can be) so the PPF lays nice. Same process if they would just ceramic coat or use the clear PPF.

Good call...they make black? I was debating on the decals, wanted to see them...they come off in like a minute.

Looks awesome. What is the maintenance on Stealth like? I've seen a few cars (Tesla's) with this PPF and it almost looked like they had big finger print marks, if that makes sense. Assume the ceramic coat fixes that issue but just wondering.

Nice looking car! Satin looks special and I never had the guts to go down this path... always wanted to.

However, it’s just not so special as Greg’s endurance race edition... the only 7 speed manual in the US (allegedly).... rarer than an R and listed for only $376k! 😜

Looks great, thanks for sharing OP. I'd like to see stealth in person but I can see the ceramic coat does not take away the sheen, so that's good. Must have been pretty spendy, can you share, even by PM?

In my experience with ceramic pro on black... no touchy. It grabs your fingerprints but they come off easily. Over stealth PPF, agreed, it would be good to know.

That looks really great, especially with your car colors and wheel choice.

Initially the car grabbed all kinds of dust, as it cures its less so. I think you do see greasy finger prints on it, but if your hands are clean it seems to be ok. Stuff wipes off easily, and care should only be wiping with waterless wash or an ONR mixture. The ceramic pro is crazy slick, those decals likely will only be on a few days

Cost was 6700 for paint correction, PPF, ceramic coating and tint. Wheels are coated as well. I had ceramic pro done on my black truck after paint correction, and it looks amazing, and stays pretty damn clean for a black vehicle. The negative to stealth is that I had a few small stone chips on rockers, and they show thru. They seem to be more noticeable, and look like white specs of dust. I may have them take the ppf off in that area and touch up the paint. I dont mind the contrast of a few gloss areas with the satin, as it looks very complimentary.

My favorite color with stealth is silver...it looks awesome. I have seen a few audis done and silver was excellent. Blue was a close second.
