BMW M8 in Liquid Metal Bronze Metallic PPF

What Is a Metallic Finish?

A Metallic finish is a colored film infused with microscopic metallic flake that reflects light, creating a sparkling, dimensional surface.

Metallic colored PPF uses the same self-healing TPU base as our protection films, but suspends aluminium-style flake within the color layer. As light moves across the panel, the flake catches highlights and reveals depth and movement that a flat Solid finish cannot. It is the go-to choice for sporty, dynamic builds — from Liquid Metal Bronze on a BMW M8 to Alexander Silver on a Porsche 911.
