Stealth PPF Conversion

Matt & Satin Paint Protection Film in Durham, North East

What Is Stealth PPF?

Stealth PPF is a full vehicle Paint Protection Film installation using a textured top coat that alters the appearance of the paint.

Instead of traditional gloss protection, Stealth PPF gives you:

• A matt finish for a flat, contemporary look
• A satin finish for subtle sheen and added depth

At the same time, it provides the same impact resistance and durability as standard gloss PPF.

This means you are not just changing the look of your car — you are protecting it.

Why Choose Stealth PPF Instead of Vinyl Wrap?

Many people searching for a gloss to matt conversion consider vinyl wrap. However, there is a major difference.

Paint Protection Film is significantly thicker and designed for impact resistance.

Stealth PPF:

• Protects against stone chips
• Resists scratches and swirl marks
• Features self-healing technology
• Offers long-term manufacturer warranty
• Preserves original paintwork underneath

Vinyl wrap changes colour.
Stealth PPF changes the finish and protects the paint.

For North East road conditions, with grit, motorway debris and daily driving, protection matters.

Full Stealth Coverage

Complete transformation. Complete protection.

Our Full Stealth Coverage package converts your vehicle to a premium matt or satin finish using full body Paint Protection Film. Every painted exterior surface is wrapped to deliver a consistent stealth appearance while protecting the original paintwork underneath.

Unlike standard gloss PPF, Stealth installations require greater depth of coverage and precision. Panels must be taken further into edges and returns to minimise visible gloss areas and ensure a uniform finish across the vehicle. The result is a cleaner, more refined transformation with minimal factory gloss left exposed.

This package is ideal for high-value vehicles, long-term ownership or clients who want a full aesthetic conversion combined with genuine impact protection.

We can also protect gloss black trims, pillars and other contrasting elements to maintain a balanced finish throughout.

Each Full Stealth installation is tailored to the vehicle and typically requires 7–10 days due to the additional detailing and refinement involved.
