Why every G-Class owner should consider PPF
From 1979's W460 to today's W463A, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has kept its boxy silhouette and is Hong Kong's undisputed resale champion — G63 AMG three-year residual value exceeds 85%, unmatched by any other luxury SUV. But at 2.5–2.7 tonnes, 1.98m tall, with countless right-angled edges, its arches, spare-wheel cover and exposed hinges are curb-rash magnets, and highway rock-chip risk to the front bumper, hood and A-pillar is ~30% higher than a typical SUV.
More critically, the G-Class uses thick two-stage paint with Mercedes' proprietary Nanoparticle Clear Coat — hard, but any scratch visually amplifies, especially on Obsidian Black, Emerald Green, Cavansite Blue. Factory single-panel respray costs HK$8k – HK$15k, Manufaktur custom colours HK$15k – HK$30k per panel. Full-car PPF from HK$28,000 equals one panel respray while protecting the whole car for 5–7 years — payback under 2 years.
