Yes, Gloss black that "completes" the triangle profile and mimics the window tint so kind of looks like the window extends to the truck bed. I thought from a design standpoint it "lightened" just the large black mass at the back.
super interested in this. can you add additional photos that show the sail pilar

Its black thats reflection prob from ceramic coating.
Which PPF (texture/color/manufacturer) did you use?

Many of the black PPF’s out there are not pitch black and therefore read “grey”…it looks like yours is one of those unfortunately…

that explains it…unfortunately you were deceived…matte PPF should not be ceramic coated…it exacerbates the matte’s reflectivity making it read much more grey in brighter scenes…

yes you were…as mentioned matte texture is not intended to be ceramic coated…sorry that’s just a fact…
I have the identical PPF installed on my CT. There are ceramic coatings specifically designed for matte and satin PPF. I used Gtechniq HALOv2 Flexible Film Coating. No shine at all.

Are you aware that they need to be removed & reapplied every couple of years?

PPF should last a really long time... Vinyl does too when taken care of and garaged.

I was responding to someone else regarding the coating—not the PPF.
