From Beaten Up to Show-Ready: Matte Green 3M Wrap on a 2014 Honda Civic in Naperville
See how Auto Style PPF transformed a worn-out 2014 Honda Civic with peeling paint into a sleek JDM-style ride using Matte Green 3M vinyl and Avery Dennison carbon hood wrap in Naperville, IL.
From Beaten Up to Show-Ready – Honda Civic 2014 in Matte Green 3M
Sometimes a car just needs a second chance at life. That’s exactly what happened with this 2014 Honda Civic we recently wrapped here at Auto Style PPF Car Wrap Naperville. The owner came to us because our pricing around Naperville and the surrounding suburbs is hard to beat, and he had heard we know exactly how to handle older, beat-up cars before wrapping them.
This Civic had a rough past – the paint was peeling badly, it had been repainted before (not very well), dents all over the body, and even a cracked bumper. Before we even touched the vinyl, our team went to work fixing all the issues: smoothing the surface, repairing the bumper, and making sure the body was ready for a flawless wrap.
The owner chose Matte Green from 3M, a bold and clean look that instantly gave the car a new personality. But we didn’t stop there – we wrapped the hood in carbon fiber vinyl from Avery Dennison. Honestly, it looks like a real carbon hood now.
When it rolled out of our shop, it didn’t look like a tired old Civic anymore. It looked like a proper JDM-style street car, the kind you’d expect to see at a local car meet or Cars & Coffee show. The owner was beyond happy – he said it feels like having a brand new paint job, but with the benefits of vinyl wrap.
We’ve wrapped many older cars over the years, so we know how to prep and restore them before the vinyl goes on. This is not just about putting on a wrap – it’s about bringing life back to a vehicle and making it stand out again.
If your car has seen better days, whether it’s a Honda, BMW, Porsche, or any make, we can give it a fresh, smooth finish that looks like it rolled out of the factory yesterday.

The Challenge of Wrapping a Car with Color Paint Protection Film: Our Experience with a Mercedes GT53s
Discover the challenges and rewards of installing premium color Paint Protection Film on a Mercedes GT53s. From tricky wet installation and stubborn edges to an 8-day labor-intensive process, see why color PPF offers superior protection and a flawless finish compared to vinyl wraps.
At Auto Style PPF in Naperville, IL, we recently took on a tough but rewarding project wrapping a Mercedes GT53s with premium Rayno color Paint Protection Film (PPF). Unlike traditional vinyl wraps, color PPF offers unmatched protection with a glossy finish and a 10-year warranty. But don’t let that fool you installing color PPF is a whole different ballgame, and this job tested our skills and patience like never before.
Why Choose Color PPF Over Vinyl Wrap?
Color PPF not only enhances the look of your vehicle but also shields it from rock chips, scratches, and UV damage. Unlike vinyl, it’s durable enough to handle automated car washes with brushes, making maintenance easier and keeping your car looking fresh longer. Plus, the 10-year warranty gives peace of mind that vinyl wraps simply can’t match.
The Installation Challenge: Wet Application and Tricky Edges
Installing color PPF requires a wet application technique, which means the film and surface stay wet for hours as we carefully position and stretch the material. On the Mercedes GT53s, this process was especially demanding all the corners and edges kept peeling up during installation, which is common with complex curves and contours on high-end vehicles.
To fix these issues, we used a combination of heat guns and torch fire to carefully seal the film edges. This step took incredible precision and care, as overheating can damage the film or the paint underneath. We applied multiple rounds of heat, stretching, and smoothing to ensure the film adhered perfectly without any bubbles or lifting.
An 8-Day Labor of Love
Unlike vinyl wraps that can often be completed in a day or two, this color PPF project took us a full eight days to complete. The process was exhausting always working with a wet surface, handling expensive material with zero margin for error, and constantly reworking problem areas to meet our high standards.
Each roll of Rayno color PPF costs about $1,800, and the GT53s required 1.5 rolls for full coverage. Because of the cost, minimizing waste was critical, so every cut and piece had to be perfectly planned.
The Reward: A Flawless Finish with Superior Protection
After more than a week of careful, painstaking work, the Mercedes GT53s emerged looking flawless. The color PPF’s glossy finish and crystal-clear protection make it look better than ever, and it’s now armored against everyday wear and tear. The owner can enjoy peace of mind with the full 10-year warranty and easy maintenance even driving through automatic car washes without worry.
Thinking About Color PPF for Your Car?
