Porsche Cayenne GTS · Liquid Metal Shell Pink

About this build

This Porsche Cayenne GTS came through our Los Angeles studio as a performance daily-driver build — the finish call usually hangs on whether the owner wants the car to read factory-spec or visibly customized once it leaves our bay. Single-service builds like this one keep the install schedule tight and let the owner add the next layer later if the use case changes.

This performance SUV received a full color change using a liquid metal shell pink protective film that adds both visual impact and long-term surface protection. The finish has a metallic, fluid character that shifts gently under changing light, which makes panel alignment and film orientation especially important. Because the body combines large flat areas with aggressive lower contours, we had to balance consistent tone with clean installation lines. The result is a complete transformation that still functions as a protective layer, with the metallic effect reading strongest across the doors and rear quarter sections.

What we used on this Porsche

Premium 8 mil color PPF — self-healing urethane with a ceramic-infused topcoat. Matte, gloss, and colour variants available; plotter-cut from a digital pattern for the exact body panel. Pigmented top layer fuses paint protection with a colour change in one film, so the underlying factory paint stays untouched.

Why this finish was the right call

Color PPF lets the owner change the look of the car without losing factory paint underneath. Strip the film years later and the original finish is still the original finish — that is the entire point of choosing colour PPF over a wrap or a respray. The pigmented urethane is heavier than cast vinyl, holds sharper edges around shut-lines, and self-heals the same way clear PPF does.

In Los Angeles specifically, color PPF makes sense for two kinds of owner: the long-hold collector who wants a finish that survives a decade of garage time, and the short-hold lease driver who wants a colour shift today and a clean turn-in tomorrow. Both end up at the same spec sheet.

What to expect after the install

PPF cure window: avoid pressure-washing the wrapped panels for the first 7 days. Hand-wash only for the first 30 days. Properly cared for, the film holds its self-healing properties for 8–10 years.
