In this scenario, you've now paid $5,000 or so for the factory paint and another $5,000+ for the wrap

Given that, order Bluestone Metallic and then wrap that in Xpel Stealth to both protect and freeze it one fell swoop. This is exactly what I did.

Frozen and matte are being used interchangeably in most of the threads I've participated in although the sticklers will probably point out that there are 20+ permutations of matte, frozen, metallic, satin, gloss, pearlescent, etc.
You've really sold me on this approach for my next car. Congrats to @[yk7] (contact:214581) on his new wheels, love the color. Photos on the web are deceiving but your finish actually looks better than a standard factory frozen finish.
