Trying to decide if I should go stealth or gloss PPF on British Racing Green. Exterior spec is BRG, CCBs, and wheels are machine faced.

Thoughts?

If anyone has a pic of BRG in stealth I would definitely appreciate it! Checked the googles.

Congrats on the car! BRG is beautiful and one of my favorite Uni paints.

I would personally go the gloss route … I've not seen an example of BRG in matted PPF.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but matte is played out. Gloss 100%.

I'm considering the same option also with my upcoming special order color of Atlantis Blue. I'm a big fan of the matte look and I've had the Stealth XPEL PPF in the past and it looks great. One thing to consider is to have your installer put on a small piece of the Stealth sheet on your car for a few days to see if you like it before committing to the entire car. My installer said it is easy to remove a small piece of PPF after a few days.

Matte PPF does not look as good as matte paint. Go with gloss PPF.

Agree with this sentiment. Matte still looks great on some colors to me, but BRG is so rich, it would be a shame to mute and hide its natural gloss in my opinion!
