PPF or Viny Color Change?

[reesespieces2521]

Hi everyone. First post here on the forums, so be gentle.

Just bought a 2021 Calligraphy in white. Very happy with the purchase, so I'd like to protect the car as much as possible.

I'm torn between doing an XPEL full-wrap to protect the paint and keep the white color (which took forever to find here in SoCal without paying a premium), or to wrap the car in Nardo Gray Vinyl. Each option I would do a gloss black roof.

What do folks think, and does anyone have some good Photoshop skills where they could make a Nardo Gray Palisade? Which includes Nardo Gray on all the exterior chrome pieces?

Thanks

Hi, I got aftermarket PPF on my 2020 Limited. I did the whole front and side mirrors.
Personally, I wouldn't wrap the car in gray vinyl...its pointless IMHO, you paid a bit extra for Hyper White color, show it off.

PPF is must for me though. I also got my front windshield tinted and all windows tinted.

I agree! The white looks sweet! Just bought a 2020 Limited in black. Having PPF partial front and ceramic applied next week to protect from AZ sun and rock chips... although choking on the price a bit...$1600.

Also, do some research on the type of PPF that works best for your area. My installer told me to stay away from 3M, they make great stuff but their technology is old.
XPEL is great, so is SunTek. I went the SunTek route.
Don't forget that ceramic coating as the icing on the cake

Thanks! The installer we chose uses Xpel PPF and Feynlab ceramic. Definitely having ceramic applied to the entire car to protect that shiny black!
