Peelclear Paint Finishes
Gloss, Satin, Matte, Pearls & Ultra Shift.
Every Peelclear color ships in three core finishes — gloss, satin, and matte — with two optional effect layers: pearls and Ultra Shift. Pick the sheen you want, layer the effect you're after.
High-reflection factory finish.
Peelclear Gloss cures to a clear, high-reflection top coat that sands and polishes like OEM clear — straight from the 2026 Trifold. It's the highest-impact finish of the three and reads instantly as factory paint.
- Sandable and polishable like automotive clear coat
- UV-stabilized to resist fade, yellowing, and gloss degradation
- Works under every color family — Ultra Shift, Pearls, Dip-N-Dyes
- Primary finish for show cars and full color changes
The soft-sheen middle ground.
Satin lands between gloss and matte — a controlled sheen that reads modern and fingerprint-forgiving. It still shows depth in the color without the mirror-finish reflection of gloss.
- Low-to-mid gloss level — reads clean and contemporary
- Hides micro-scratches and swirls better than gloss
- Kills fingerprint and water-spot visibility on dark colors
- Popular pick for matte Nardo Gray, mid-tones, and Ultra Shifts
Flat, non-reflective, moody.
Matte is the flattest finish in the system — no reflection, pure pigment. The waterborne matte top coat sprays with slight sheen and matures over 6–8 hours (per the Master Q&A) to its final flat state.
- Non-reflective top coat, true matte appearance
- Waterborne formula takes 6–8 hours to matte out post-application
- 10–20 minutes between matte coats, per Peelclear spec
- Best-in-class look for Jet Black, Forest Green, Light Brown
The depth layer.
Pearls aren't a base finish — they sit on top of gloss, satin, or matte to add iridescence, shimmer, and color-shift depth. The library runs 85 options, plus custom flake loading.
- 85 pearls in the main library, spray-applied over your base color
- Custom flake concentrations available for higher-sparkle builds
- Layer over any of the three finishes (gloss, satin, matte)
- Each pearl is a separate SKU so you can mix-and-match
The color changes with the angle.
Ultra Shift is Peelclear's pre-formulated color-shift system. Pigments align to reflect different hues at different viewing angles — a single panel reads as multiple colors as you walk around it.
- 17 pre-formulated Ultra Shift blends in the current library
- Dramatic multi-tone effects across the whole panel
- Pairs naturally with gloss for maximum angle reflection
- Signature looks: Aurora Surge, Cosmic Overload, Midnight Tempest
