For this build, the factory gloss finish was converted into a matte surface using full-body protective film. That approach adds a noticeable visual change while keeping the underlying paint protected from impact, scratches, and long-term wear. On a large SUV with broad panels and minimal ornament, matte texture must stay uniform or the whole project loses discipline. The installation focused on clean seams, controlled tension, and wrapped edges where possible. The final effect is most visible across the hood and long rear doors, where the matte surface reduces glare and sharp reflection.
