The frozen colours suit the G87 so well, really highlighting how muscular and wide the body is.

Agreed I think the frozen colours work really well on the G8X platform haven’t really seen a glossy colour that I think looks good on this platform.

Great colors on the M2, thanks for sharing. Although the frozen portimao blue would be my pick, it’s 🔥

[Chet for short]

Seems the frozen is slightly satin, with a subtle sheen. The matt wraps are quite flat. I kinda prefer the frozen, but TBH I had too many crap cars in my youth that were either primer or just had bad paint to warm to anything but gloss. Just my opinion. Matt or satin finishes do catch my eye in the wild though.

I just picked up a frozen pure grey. Absolutely love it! I know it’s a pain but couldn’t help it. Still researching PPF but know it’s a must.

I fully agree. Feel free to post lots more photos soon. And yes, proper PPF is a great first step to protecting that expensive paint option.

Ooo I’ve been waiting for Pics of frozen grey outside it’s looks soo good!! this makes deciding even hard definitely leaning more towards grey now.. 🤔

Is it possible to record a video? Be interesting to see how light affects it?

Or even some night time pictures would be good! 😊

[abrandonment]

Yeah.. if we haven't been clear, we would like you to drown us in content. Absurd amounts of content.

Looking good! Congrats! Such an awesome color I know a great place in the SoCal (OC area) that does an awesome job with PPF’s and wraps altogether if you’re considering to get it done. It’ll help with the upkeep and maintenance of your individual frozen paint. He’s done all my cars and my friends too, so I may be able to get you a hookup. I also recently had my G20 PPF’d in STEK Dynomatte to give it that frozen look. Feel feee to DM me for details.

Incredible. For whatever reason, looks way better on the M2 than the M3 imo.

Unrelated, but did you get the MT or ZF8?

Thanks! I came from an F80 DCT and a G80 MT. Neither in frozen. G87 is more fun. MT for life! Or as long as they’re making them.

[abrandonment]

It looks phenomenal.. will take as many photos as you feel like posting!

Do you mind sharing how much it cost you? Is Skyscraper + XPEL Matte PPF actually close to the $3600 asking price [M3/4] for the frozen colors in the US? Just curious how close this work-around solution is to the frozen paint option cost. I understand that this isn't an apples to apples comparison since the Skyscraper + PPF is better protected than frozen paint without PPF.

I often wonder why auto makers don't offer a PPF option from the factory. Apply it right after the parts are painted. Figure out a way for robots to do it to minimize cost and maximize consistency. Should be better and cheaper than how it's done after the car is built and there is clearly a healthy market for it. Seems like a missed OEM profit opportunity.

The frozen options on the G87 are $2,300 in the US, regular metallics are $650 anyway so it's really not that big a cost. Worth doing if only to have the entire chassis the same color vs gloss stealth'd PPF leaving your door jams/underside of hood/sides of trunk etc in gloss.

I'm getting frozen portimao (currently in production lets goo) and it's nice to have options with the PPF, might only do front clip or even just front bumper and then Dr Beasley's ceramic coat the rest. With gloss you're in for the whole car which can cost 10-15% of the car's value depending on where you live.

I’d be very hesitant to put ppf on paint that hasn’t cured for at least 30 days. You run the risk of ruining the factory paint on the entire car when it comes time to remove the ppf.
