Clear Paint Protection Film

Why this film
What Velvet is for
The flattest finish HAUT makes, for builds that reject shine entirely.
Genuinely flat
Not a low-gloss satin sold as matte. Velvet kills the reflection, which is why it reads so differently along a body line than a satin film does.
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.
Protection is not the trade-off
The finish changes; the impact layer underneath does not. Velvet protects the paint the way a clear film does.
Specification
Velvet by the numbers
Production-lot values from the HAUT technical data sheet for this film, each with the ASTM method it was measured against.
| Finish | Flat matte |
|---|---|
| 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 Velvet differs
The film closest to Velvet in the range is Mist. Velvet is Flat matte; Mist is Satin — 28–35% gloss at 60°. The flattest finish HAUT makes, for builds that reject shine entirely.
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.
