Definition
A low-gloss surface appearance. Matte PPF may suit a compatible matte-painted vehicle or change the sheen of glossy paint.
Why it matters
A partial matte panel can look visibly different from uncovered gloss. Care products and polishing must suit the finish, because an abrasive or gloss-enhancing treatment can create uneven appearance. Agree the desired result on a sample.
