Welcome to the Cadillac V-Series Forums!

Any pics or videos of Deep Space Metallic on a real car?

Haha I definitely see blue, usually under lights when it is dark outside. Most of the time in the sun it looks like a darkish steel color. At night it looks like gunmetal.

It's the perfect daily driver color. My old WRX was red and the only thing I miss about the color is how it looked in the rain. The bright colors look fantastic against overcast backdrops.
 
Seeing these pictures is a huge sigh of relief. I was torn between Typhoon Metallic and Deep Space Metallic. A huge decision, complicated by not being able to actually see each color in person. Went with Deep Space and am glad I did (couldn't go wrong between the two colors I suppose). Can't wait until I finally take delivery of mine. It's just sitting there, waiting to be shipped to the dealer. C'mon already!!

Still has the wrapping on...
 
I very much enjoy my dsm color choice! The car is in the ppf shop getting stealth. I went for dsm/bronze wheels, swapping emblems to black. I would do the same again.
 
Sorry, yes I mean matte ppf. The shop sent me a pic of just the hood so I could see the difference before I committed. I’ll post plenty when it’s done. In person, you can still see the blue in it. My Escalade-V is in the black tri-coat and is almost silver after matte ppf. Pics in the meantime:

Interesting. So it is basically a type of clear that lets the original color show through, but "mattes" it at the same time. Is that pretty much it?

Definitely want pics of when it is done. Trying to figure out what I want to do with mine for protection when it arrives.

I’d almost say it mutes the base color somewhat. Let me find a pic of the Escalade, it’s black diamond tricoat under stealth ppf. The charger next to it is just plain black. You see a lot of the silver flake through the stealth.

Hey man sent you a DM. Thinking really hard about DSM and stealth vs Argent Silver and stealth. Is that Xpel or Suntek, btw.

Gotcha, sent a few recent pics. I am happy with my decision :)
 
Here are some recent ones. The video is from a distance but you get the idea.

My God that's beautiful! Great job!!

I've been toying with the idea of doing Stealth Matte PPF on my Wave Blue Metallic, but just haven't had the time to take the vehicle to a shop yet to "sample".
 
Still cant believe that so many people allow a guy who looks like a high school drop out to take a knife to their brand new $100K+ car

The OEM's provide templates and they use machines to laser cut the PPF to exactly match the size of each feature of each body panel. The only place where they may cut is if you ask them to wrap the PPF around edges in which case the machines print an extra 1-2" around all edges (such as the hood for example) where they wrap the PPF under the hood and cut some excess away. My job was flawless - every piece of PPF was cut perfectly by their machine and covered everything on the front half of the car.
 
Youre talking to me like I havent had 4 cars done at 4 different locations over the last 20 years, all preached being experts and cost 2-5K. I know the process very well. Reality is the film can be cut perfectly by machine, however, the film stretches during install, some times drastically... so your perfectly cut film ends up being too short or requires considerable trimming. You wont notice the cuts into the paint until after the film is removed... ALL the installers cut the paint as if they dont cut all the way through the film the film simply wont tear off cleanly or leave a clean edge.
