This Ghost came into our shop in ras al khor, Dubai.
For a full body paint protection film, and it was one of our favourite jobs in a while.
We've had a few Rolls-Royces through before, but never one in a colour like this. In person it changes a lot with the light. In the shade it's soft and almost pastel, and in direct sun it gets much brighter. With the dark wheels and grille, it still manages to look understated, which is very Rolls-Royce.
A few things that stood out doing PPF on a Ghost:
The panels are huge.
The bonnet and the sides are long, uninterrupted surfaces, so there's nowhere to hide a seam. We did the bonnet as one single piece.
Everything is hand-cut.
No blades on the paint, especially around the grille and the Spirit of Ecstasy area. It takes longer, but on a car like this there's no other way to do it.
The edges get wrapped wherever possible
the film doesn't show lines or collect dirt over time.
Why owners here protect them:
Dubai highways are rough on paint. Sand, gravel, and constant sun mean even a car driven carefully picks up chips on the front end within months, and colour-matching a shade like this for a respray wouldn't be easy.
The owner went with clear gloss film so the colour stays exactly as it came from the factory.
Would you have kept it gloss, or gone matte on a colour like this?
