I have a V8 CE and I absolutely love it. But I will say, this black with the satin PPF is just as gorgeous. It's making me actually think of doing the satin PPF on my gloss black hood and tailgate.
Wanted to add to the thread. Had calipers painted with Atlantis Blue (BMW). Closest match I could find. I am pretty happy with results especially considering that Xenon Blue color code is impossible to find and would have wanted the rear calipers done as well. Also had STEK PPF applied everywhere not previously wrapped. Kudos to the The Shop Automotive Detailing.
Wow, looks great! I think you nailed that color for the calipers. Was it hard to find someone that would paint the calipers? And did you do the clear/gloss STEK on the black portions, is that what you meant?

Was it hard to find someone that would paint the calipers? - I actually used the same "shop" I have worked with in the past. They did a satin wrap (STEK) on my Glacier White RSQ8 (that too was hard to find - I posted pics on Reddit for that as well). I had considered painting the calipers on the Audi but kept them black ultimately. When I was discussing the Defender, they were excited about the project. Though I think they were confident they could get the paint code which proved impossible. When I suggested Atlantis Blue they felt that it was not only close but would look great either way. As much effort as I placed in finding this color, just figured I might be able to save people some time if they had similar plans.
And did you do the clear/gloss STEK on the black portions, is that what you meant? Yes, sorry for word jumble. All black portions as well as the door handles were wrapped with the clear STEK PPF. I also had the entire vehicle ceramic coated.
The body is Satin Black.
I had asked for this color, they are slightly off
Your car looks great. Hope you are still happy with it! What was the name/brand of your original caliper color? I am getting mine done as well... Thanks!
