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.
Specification
Mist by the numbers
The specification this film is made to — thickness and finish — and its warranty. Performance values publish here, with the ASTM method beside each, as the US laboratory report for this film comes in.
| Thickness | 160 ±15 µm / 6.3 milASTM D6988 |
|---|---|
| Finish | Satin |
| Warranty | 10 years |
Thickness and finish are the specification each film is made to. Performance values — transmittance, tensile strength, elongation, adhesion, hardness, weathering — are being measured on the film sold in the United States at a US laboratory, to the ASTM methods listed on the test-methods page. A value is published for a film only once that film's report is in hand, with the method beside it. Until then 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, blistering and premature yellowing when it is installed by a certified shop. Registering it online is free and turns a claim years later into a record lookup — the full terms say what is covered and what is not.

An em-dash means that film carries no specified value for the column, not that it performs badly. Thickness and finish are the specification each film is made to. Performance values — transmittance, tensile strength, elongation, adhesion, hardness, weathering — are being measured on the film sold in the United States at a US laboratory, to the ASTM methods listed on the test-methods page. A value is published for a film only once that film's report is in hand, with the method beside it. Until then the row is left out rather than filled in.
