About this build

This Maserati Levante came through our Los Angeles studio as a luxury SUV build — large body panels invite full-coverage builds — partial wraps tend to look unfinished on this kind of vehicle. Gloss keeps the factory-paint depth front-and-centre while the colour shift carries the look. Multi-service builds are sequenced deliberately — one finish has to fully cure before the next one goes on top, so the schedule reflects that order.

For this build, the exterior was converted into a deep gloss black finish using protective film rather than standard wrap material. That approach delivers both a major visual change and a real layer of impact protection. Once the film installation was complete, we applied a ceramic coating to improve water behavior and reduce maintenance effort. Gloss black is unforgiving, so surface preparation and reflection control were critical from the start. The final finish stays dark and fluid across the body, with the cleanest reflection lines running through the hood and front door sections.

What we used on this Maserati

STEK Dynoshield Color PPF — 8 mil self-healing urethane with a ceramic-infused topcoat. Matte, gloss, and colour variants available; plotter-cut from a digital pattern for the exact body panel. Pigmented top layer fuses paint protection with a colour change in one film, so the underlying factory paint stays untouched.
Professional SiO₂ ceramic coating — 9H surface hardness, hydrophobic, multi-year durability when paired with our prep wash and clay-bar decontamination.

Why these finishes were combined

Maserati builds with several finishes work when each layer is planned in sequence: PPF stops the impact and chemical hits, ceramic coating sits on top so washing the car takes a fraction of the time and grime does not bake in.

What to expect after the install

PPF cure window: avoid pressure-washing the wrapped panels for the first 7 days. Hand-wash only for the first 30 days. Properly cared for, the film holds its self-healing properties for 8–10 years.
Ceramic coating maintenance: first wash at 7 days, then a regular pH-neutral wash every 2–3 weeks keeps the hydrophobic layer active for the rated lifespan.

Every Maserati build at our Los Angeles studio includes a written aftercare brief and direct text-line access to the installer for the first month. Questions about your specific build — get a quote or call (424) 207-4435.
