Clear Paint Protection Film
Mist
Mist takes a gloss panel to a soft satin sheen and protects it at the same time. It is 7.1 mil of the same protective platform as Master, finished with a satin topcoat — so a car can change character completely and go back to gloss the day the film comes off.

Why this film
What Mist is for
For owners who want the factory-satin look without repainting, and for factory satin cars that need protecting.
A finish change that is reversible
Satin paint is a five-figure decision. Satin film is a wrap. The paint underneath comes out untouched and unfaded.
Even sheen across a whole car
Satin exposes a weak film instantly — patchy sheen, bright spots at every squeegee pass. Mist holds one consistent sheen from hood to hatch.
Self-healing topcoat
The topcoat is an elastomeric, lightly crosslinked surface. Warm it and the polymer chains regain enough mobility for the network's own elasticity to pull a light swirl back out — the deformation was stored, not removed. Wash marks close instead of collecting into a season of haze.
Protects factory satin, too
Factory matte and satin paint cannot be polished. Mist is how you protect it, and how you cover it if it is already marked.

Values are from the technical data sheet for each film. Testing is carried out at the production line to the standards listed — national methods that are adoptions of the ISO standards named on the test-methods page. Where an ASTM method is equivalent it is given there for reference; no value on this site has been re-run to ASTM, and we do not print an ASTM code as though it had been. Where a film has no measured value for a property, the row is left out rather than filled in.
How Mist differs
The film closest to Mist in the range is Master. Mist runs 6.3 mil against Master at 7.7 mil — 35 µm more, and all of it in the impact layer. For owners who want the factory-satin look without repainting, and for factory satin cars that need protecting.
Every HAUT film carries a 10-year limited warranty against cracking, delamination and blistering when installed by a certified shop and registered online.

An em-dash means we have not measured that property on that film yet, not that it performs badly. Values shown as “≥” are guaranteed minimums from a released data sheet; values shown as “up to” are the highest recorded across tested lots. Those are different kinds of number and comparing them directly will mislead you. Values are from the technical data sheet for each film. Testing is carried out at the production line to the standards listed — national methods that are adoptions of the ISO standards named on the test-methods page. Where an ASTM method is equivalent it is given there for reference; no value on this site has been re-run to ASTM, and we do not print an ASTM code as though it had been. Where a film has no measured value for a property, the row is left out rather than filled in.
