2021 Mach E First Edition Grabber Blue.....GOT IT!
Occupation

I've ordered a Grabber Blue FE and I plan it getting it covered in PPF. I am trying to decide between a gloss finish (Xpel Ultimate Plus) and a matte finish (Xpel Stealth). Has anyone seen a Grabber Blue Mustang with a matte PPF? I have not been able to find a picture on the internet.
sorry but what is PPF???

I haven't seen a GB Mustang with Xpel Stealth, but I did find this Focus RS in (I think) Nitrous Blue, who took photos having Xpel Stealth installed. You can see those photos here.

Thanks. I had found some of those pictures before but not the full set.

Comparing the one fender they put the matte PPF on to the rest of the car, the matte takes away some of the punch of the blue color. That's what I was afraid of. Matte works better with the darker colors. I think GB will be too bright for it.

I had the same feeling. Love the Stealth on darker colors, especially grey's, but don't think it's works as well on Grabber Blue (or similar colors).

I don't think I'll be wrapping the whole car, but entertained the idea initially. I think I'll stick with just getting the front bumper/hood, side panels, a-pillars, and mirrors done.

No stealth for me. I’m with you. I want my Grabber Blue to shine!
