What did Brookswood Tint do to this GT3 RS?
Every painted panel on this car went under paint protection film, not only the bumper, hood, fenders and mirrors that a front package covers. That is full-body coverage, the biggest of the shop’s four PPF packages.
The photos show the GT3 RS that Porsche launched in 2022: a swan-neck rear wing, louvred openings on top of the front fenders and vents behind the front wheels. The finish is satin black over red wheels, and the hood and roof show a carbon weave. In each photo the painted panels keep the same flat sheen, outdoors against the block wall and indoors under the bay lights beside the shop’s LLumar banner.
Why is a GT3 RS harder to film than an ordinary 911?
So much of its body is openings, blades and separate carbon parts, and every opening is an edge where a piece of film has to end. Porsche’s launch release for the 911 GT3 RS lists louvred openings in the front quarter panels, inlets behind the front wheels, side blades on the front fascia and fins on the roof. It also says the doors, front quarter panels, roof and hood are made from carbon fibre reinforced plastic.
Film for a body like this is cut from software templates, so the louvres and vents come out of the sheet on a cutter, not with a blade on the car. Where a panel’s shape allows, the film folds around the edge and finishes out of sight. A few bumpers force a small relief cut, and you’re told where it will sit before the install begins.
Why full-body film instead of a front package on this car?
On a satin car, a partial install leaves a line where the film stops, and everything behind that line still takes stones. Full coverage solves both.
If a satin look comes from matte film over gloss paint, any panel left bare stays glossy, so a front-only job would put shiny doors behind flat fenders. If the paint is satin to begin with, a film edge halfway across a fender can still show as a faint step in low light. The GT3 RS also has wide rear fenders that flare out past the doors, right in line with grit thrown back by the front tires. A front package does nothing for them. You can see what each level covers on full-body PPF.
Gloss or matte film on a satin GT3 RS?
Matte. The top surface of the film sets the sheen you see, so gloss film over satin paint would make it shine, while matte film keeps a satin car flat.
The shop’s PPF is LLumar Platinum, sold in gloss and matte. In the shop’s own words, the matte version turns gloss paint satin. Owners weighing that look on a different car can compare it on matte PPF.
What does the owner get from full-body film?
The film takes the hits that would otherwise chip and scuff the paint, on every panel instead of just the front.
- Chip and scuff protection over the whole body, including the doors, rear fenders and rear bumper.
- A self-healing top coat: light scratches in the film fade with heat.
- A 10-year LLumar manufacturer’s limited warranty, with yellowing, cracking, bubbling and peeling named as covered in the shop’s published terms.
- A finish that stays even, because no panel is left out to age or shine differently.
Aftercare follows the shop’s standard PPF advice: no washing for the first seven days, then hand or touchless washes only, pressure nozzles held clear of film edges, and no brush washes.
How do you book the same coverage for your 911?
Ask for a full-body quote with the year, model and trim, and say whether you want gloss or matte. Prep comes first: the shop decontaminates the paint, corrects it if it needs correcting, and only then lays film over it.
