However, most brands limit their matte color options to just one or two. If you want a more interesting matte color, you typically have to look into aftermarket wraps or paint. Unless you're buying a new [Mustang](), because [Ford]() will soon offer a clear film wrap for all Mustang coupes and convertibles that'll take the shine right out. The $5,995 "Matte Clear Film" option can be applied to any Mustang color, which gives it a matte finish and also acts as a paint protection film. According to Ford, it will hold up to harsh detergents, hand washing, touchless car washes, bird droppings, road salt, and even asphalt residue. The most important part, though, is its warranty. The wrap is included in the Mustang's standard three-year, 36,000-mile warranty, which could make it far more attractive for many buyers than taking their new car to a detailer to have it wrapped. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Mustang coupe customers can order the wrap starting on February 27, but it won't be available for convertibles until later this year. All hardtop trims—Ecoboost, GT, and [Dark Horse]()—can be optioned matte, but there are some package limitations. Dark Horse customers who choose the matte wrap will lose the car's standard hood accent stripe and the painted racing stripe option. It's also not available in combination with the GT California Special kit or the optional graphics on the Ecoboost and GT. Ford didn't say whether existing customers will be able to get this matte film applied to their cars at the dealer, nor did it say if new customers with the matte wrap can have it removed by the dealer later on if they no longer like the look. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a good idea, and it's a wonder why more automakers don't offer it. Not only is it an easy way to get a matte finish on any factory color, but it adds paint protection and is covered under the original warranty. Depending on which Mustang model you choose, there are already up to 11 different color choices. With a factory matte option, that list effectively doubles. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
