I'm planning to PPF my new LC 500 and leaning towards a colored PPF this time around. I was hoping to get some input from others who may have done it as far as how the color looks in comparison to paint. Would love to see some pictures. Would also appreciate some color recommendations. I'm leaning towards Gloss Basilisk Blue from 3M, would love to see pictures of different greens. My preference is a gloss color and one that isn't currently or hasn't been offered from the factory in the past to maintain a unique appearance. Is there a benefit to ceramic coating over the colored PPF?
For reference, I'll be covering the matte gray paint so its stealth PPF vs colored PPF.

I've seen the Stealth Matte PPF from XPEL (Black). Looks pretty sick. I kinda regret choosing clear. I'm 2 years into my current PPF. Maybe I'll wait another 2 before changing out.
These are vinyl wraps. Some refer to them as 'Glamour' wraps. The Tesla guys love this stuff. They come in any imaginable color which lasts about 3+/- years? PPF is actually Thermoplastic, limited color(s) available for now until the tech improves. XPEL claims 10 year life but recommends changing after 6.
You’re thinking of color PPF over matte grey! Don’t change it! You got the best color. Just do stealth - yes ceramic does help. I have it on top of my black M4 with stealth ppf and it’s really hydrophobic.

I don’t think the ppf is hydrophobic. It’s the ceramic coating or whatever coating they apply on the ppf that’s hydrophobic.
i used inozetek wrap on my LC. its been almost 4 years and its about as nice as the day i got it. The shine is still there, the gloss is there, and it protected the car from quite a few rock chips/ dings in its 4 years.
Inozetek is also quite a bit thicker than traditional vinyl wrap so its almost like a hybrid ppf/vinyl.
