What is matte or satin PPF on a Range Rover?
It is the same thick, self-healing paint protection film as clear PPF, but with a satin top layer instead of a gloss one. Fitted over the whole car, it changes the finish from shiny to soft sheen, while still stopping stone chips, sand and light scratches reaching the paint.
Matte and satin are often used for the same low sheen film. On a Range Rover the effect suits the design: long flat panels, flush glass and very few creases look sculpted in satin, and dark colours in particular take on a stealthy, bespoke look.
Can you make a Range Rover satin without painting it?
Yes. Satin film goes over the existing paint, so nothing is sanded, sprayed or permanently changed. The car keeps its original colour under the film, and the finish becomes satin.
We fit it the same way as our gloss and colour change Range Rover jobs: the car is washed and prepared, precut film is laid panel by panel, and edges are wrapped around the doors, vents, lights and handles. Our Range Rover work on the channel so far has been gloss PPF and full colour changes, such as this white to gloss black Range Rover. Satin film follows the same process, and we have fitted it on a Land Rover Defender 110 and a Bentley Bentayga.
How a full film finish change goes on a Range Rover
Gloss, satin or colour PPF on a Range Rover?
Pick the finish you want to live with every day; all three protect the paint equally well.
| Finish | Look | Starting price (before 5% VAT) |
|---|---|---|
| Clear gloss PPF | Factory colour and shine, near invisible film | From AED 13,500 |
| Satin PPF | Factory colour with a soft, low sheen finish | From AED 14,250 |
| Colour change PPF | A new colour in gloss or satin | From AED 15,000 |
If you want a completely new colour as well as a new finish, colour PPF does both. See our Range Rover gold to grey colour change for a full transformation with blacked out details and tint.
Does satin PPF suit a Range Rover Sport and Velar too?
Yes. The Range Rover Sport and Velar share the same clean, low line approach, with flush handles and smooth panels, so satin film works just as well on them. Each car is quoted on its own, because panel sizes and details differ.
How much does satin PPF cost on a Range Rover?

How do I look after a satin Range Rover?
- Wash with a pH neutral shampoo and soft mitts, and rinse sand off first.
- Do not polish or wax satin film: it would add shine in patches.
- Use products made for matte and satin finishes.
- Remove bird droppings and tree sap quickly.
- Book our yearly PPF maintenance package: film inspection, hydrophobic refresh, hand wash and detail, and a UV check.
If your Range Rover has factory matte paint, film is the safest way to keep it; read how we protect factory matte paint.
