The Dealer called in and told me the car is just about ready to arrive. Its been an 8 month waiting for the car. My earlier schedule delivery was in November. At the time of booking, the dealer did advise me to pick up what they had in stock as they did not know when the new batches would come in. Its a very very rare car in India owing to heavy duties and hence we dont get any allocated. Long story short, it'll arrive in about 10 days.

India is a rough country to drive cars and hence it is advisable to get a paint protection film on an expensive car. I ordered mine in Black and was wondering if I should go with the matt/ satin finish PPF on the car to give it a distinct look. Has anyone got a matt black defender to compare.

Cheers

 

Here’s two pics of a Matte Santorini Black V8 90. It has Xpel Stealth PPF across the car except for the lower rocker panels. Looks amazing.

 

Looks amazing! May I ask how much the Xpel Stealth PPF costs? Considering it for my Santorini Black 110.

 

Expect to pay between $5-7k for a quality Xpel Stealth wrap. All depends on the market of the installer.

 

Thank you for the pictures. This really helps.

I will go ahead and get the satin finish wrap to make it look like this. Will also get the brake callipers painted yellow to add in a bit of flair. Unlike the V8, I can actually get all 4 callipers painted :P

 

Expect also to buy the right care products and instructions to your employees how to wash and dry to keep it matte .
High Gloss is much easier to care and maintain.

 

Was debating between Black Satin & Xpel Stealt wrap then came across this beautiful color on a Mercedes AMG GT-C (Magno Graphite) . This will be perfect since I was torn between Black & Grey!

 

this is only true for matte paint. expel stealth is ppf wrap and normal care

 

Any update?
Can’t wait to see the final results on yours

 

Heres mine. Black with PPF wrap.
