Color PPF
Specter
Specter is a tinted clear film: the paint still shows through, but darker and deeper. Grey Specter runs 60% light transmittance for a subtle shade; Black Specter runs 35% for a serious one. Both are 190 µm of real protection, not a cosmetic overlay.

Why this film
What Specter is for
Deepens the paint a shade or two and protects it, in one layer, at 7.5 mil.
Two shades, one film
Grey at 60% for a shift most people cannot name but can see. Black at 35% when the customer wants the car obviously darker.
Color change and protection in one layer
No wrap over PPF, no PPF over wrap. One film, one install, one warranty.
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.
Specification
Specter by the numbers
Production-lot values from the HAUT technical data sheet for this film, each with the ASTM method it was measured against.
| Thickness | 190 µm / 7.5 milISO 4593 |
|---|---|
| Light transmittance | Grey 60 % · Black 35 % |
| Warranty | 10 years |
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 Specter differs
Specter is the only film in its family, so there is nothing in the HAUT range to compare it against directly — the comparison that matters is against whatever you are using today, and every property we have measured is in the table beside this.
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.
