Ford Motor (NYSE: F ) said today that it will sell as an option a new Matte Clear Film that can be applied to any currently available Mustang paint color to create a satin-like finish. Ford said it is better for paint protection than a vinyl wrap. Deliveries of Matte Clear Film for Mustang coupe – EcoBoost, GT, and Dark Horse – will start in June 2024. It will become available on the Mustang convertible by year-end. It’s a $5995 option with a thus far unknown ‘take rate’ in industry jargon.

“Mustang has been about driving freedom and freedom of expression for 60 years, and our new Matte Clear Film provides a whole new way for customers to make Mustang their own,” said Laurie Transou, Mustang Chief Program Engineer.

The 2024 Mustang Matte Clear Film is a product of PPG. It’s designed to withstand harsh detergents used at hand or touch-less car washes, as well as road salt, bird droppings, bug splatter, and asphalt residue, Ford claims. Orders can start on 27 February. This option comes with the same 3-year/36,000-mile factory warranty that applies to all 2024 Mustangs.

Customers who order the Mustang Matte Clear Film for the Mustang Dark Horse will not get the standard Hood Accent Stripe or be able to select the Painted Racing Stripe. Matte Clear Film is not available with the GT California Special package, or the optional graphics packages on the Mustang EcoBoost and GT.

Graphic delete will also be a stand-alone item on the Mustang Dark Horse for customers who prefer a less conspicuous appearance on the most track-capable 5.0-liter Mustang with the 2024 Dark Horse Handling Package.
