About this build

This crossover arrived in a bright metallic factory color that the owner wanted to convert into a softer satin appearance. Using a matte protective film allowed the original paint tone to remain visible while changing the way light reflects from the surface. In Van Nuys, where vehicles spend long hours under strong sunlight, matte protection also helps reduce visible swirl marks and surface wear. The installation process required precise alignment across the curved doors and quarter panels. Particular attention was given to the hood area, where the matte finish creates a smooth gradient across the wide panel.
