Star white metallic tri-coat Paint

[Serjape]

Anyone else have the Star White metallic Tri-coat paint? I have it on myt 2023 Powerboost and am wondering what coating, ceramic or otherwise people with this paint are using. The surface is thick and almost bumpy by comparison to other paints. Looks and feel rugged like it will last but not sure what coating to use. Is any one else coating this paint with a ceramic or other coating?

NICE looking truck! I've been hesitant on PPF. I have been hearing that it is a pain to get off. Also I live in PNW. It does not get warm often. Does that affect it's self healing? Also what brands are you using? Cost?

I am fortunate to have a monthly hand-wash contract for the past 7 years, and so my trucks have been kept "like new" regardless of the dirt, gravel, and mud they often get subjected to.
Paint is kept smooth as the windshield.

And yea, that Sparkle paint is glorious to see when the light hits it just right.

Chris, my installer is an XPEL dealer. I have been using them for years. I have full front on my Mustang, installed 6 years ago.
I live in connecticut and travel to VT in the winters a lot. The self healing is very good.

on XPEL’s website you can see what the kit pieces cost, that is usually what an installer will charge. Especially if they have invested in the cutter and use rolls.
XPEL (full front, rockers, mirrors, b-pillars on doors - black plastic), window tinting (front doors and 70% on windshield) and full 5 year ceramic coating was about $5,300

Comes off easily with a steamer watched them remove mine.

Why did this thread bring out all the 157" star white/stone grey KRs with the best looking wheels in the entire range? ?...... everyone else don't know what they're missing ?

 

[Snakebitten]

They are a really good looking OEM wheel, aren't they?

As mentioned earlier, even my tire-rotation helper says they are pretty. And she never uses an impact!
