    Battleship Gray FOrd F-150 Coating

    I was looking to apply a coating to a Battleship Gray F-150. The finish appears to be a matte type finish. I normally use the Carpro Quartz Coating. What would be the best coating for this color of vehicle. This is my first detail for this color of vehcile. I know that the color is becoming very popular. Wasn't sure if I needed to do anything different with this color vehicle.

    Re: Battleship Gray FOrd F-150 Coating

    I have been using CQuartz UK 3.0 on Matte paint finishes with great success. I first used Gyeon Q2 Matte and then CarPro’s Skin, but have using UK 3.0 on the last handful of Matte finishes and I see no reason to use a “dedicated matte” coating. It does not make them shiny whatsoever and is quite enjoyable to work with.

    If it's a stock color Lithium Gray or Abyss I don't believe they aren't matte finish.

    There are now dedicated coatings for matte paint, vinyl and PPF.

    CarPro Cquartz Skin 50 ml. Kit
    GYEON Q2 Matte 50 ml

    Gtechniq Halo is another but not sold on here.

    Another option from Gtechniq prior to Halo was GTechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer

    Nick has just released a matte coating

    Here's a couple we did. Weren't matte. Hood on Challenger was only. They took ceramic just fine.

    Good luck.

    Yeah, Lead Foot is another popular one in my area. Looks like a glossy primer to me, but a lot of people seem to like it.
