Curious to hear from fellow owners who’ve experienced both options. Factory Opaco paint (matte/satin finish) looks stunning and really elevates the visual drama of modern Ferraris—especially in colors like Rosso F1-75 Opaco. But at up to €34,000, it’s a major investment and, as many say, not easily reversible. Plus you would anyway be getting a Satin PPF over this to protect the expensive opaco paint. On the other hand, a high-quality satin PPF like Xpel Stealth gives a very similar finish, costs a fraction, and can be removed any time to reveal the original gloss paint underneath. For those who like the idea of flexibility or changing things up in the future, that’s a big plus. So I’m wondering: Has anyone done a direct comparison? Are there noticeable differences in finish quality, depth, or durability? Any regrets going with (or not going with) factory Opaco? Gloss paint is no doubt easier to maintain in the long run. Appreciate any insights or photos you’re willing to share!
