I think it would be cool to experiment with some of the Glossifier or Pearlizer to try to get it close to Frozen Gray:
![]() But as it stands, I'd say I'm a much bigger fan of the Arctic White.

Thanks for sharing. I see the sprayer in the background. Do you have experience as a painter? Did you do inside around the doors? I saw a BMW at the dealership that was done in a satin blue, very impressive. Sure beats the cost of a vinyl wrap.

Thanks for all the responses. I figured I would get a bit of a reaction from the purists out there
![]() I actually do have the satin finish that will give me the frozen look, and will get that done at some point, but I'm loving the matt finish right now. There are also a few areas I need to touch up - practice makes perfect! I was surprised at how easy this stuff is to work with - I have no experience as a painter. I've done two cars so far and I'm happy with the quality of the jobs. It's definitely cheaper than a wrap, you are not limited by colour choice (metallics, pearls, flips are available) and it's very easy to remove and clean off. |
