The difference between glossy and satin matte clear coat is mainly reflected in the visual effect they give to the components. Glossy clear coat creates a highly reflective, mirror-like surface that particularly highlights the structure of the carbon and gives it a striking, luxurious appearance. In contrast, satin matte clear coat appears more subtle and elegant, with a slightly muted look that still emphasizes the high-quality workmanship of the components.

Both variants offer a first-class aesthetic, but the choice ultimately depends on personal taste and the desired appearance. From a technical perspective, at Ilmbeger Carbon, glossy and matte are identical, so the final selection can consciously depend on visual preference. Not a given in the industry.

At Ilmberger, every component is sealed with an innovative plastic powder coating [[The difference in the surface - the advantages of plastic powder coating on carbon]], which not only ensures exceptional durability but also reliably protects the carbon from external influences. For street parts, an additional clear coat layer is applied, which perfects the component visually as the final layer and simultaneously enhances protection. This combination of technical precision and aesthetic perfection makes every Ilmberger component a true premium product.

Whether glossy or satin matte – both clear coat variants at Ilmberger are manufactured to the same high technical standard. The decision for one of the two options is therefore purely visual and gives customers the freedom to individually style their components. This way, you can be sure that regardless of the chosen surface, the highest quality and durability are always guaranteed.

Raw carbon is naturally matte and is often offered in this form by cheaper manufacturers. However, what may seem appealing at first glance has significant disadvantages: Without a protective seal, the material ages quickly, loses stability, and can even be damaged. At Ilmberger, on the other hand, every component is carefully sealed to not only preserve the appearance but also guarantee longevity. This way, the carbon remains in pristine condition for years.

The coated surfaces of Ilmberger components offer not only protection and aesthetics but also flexibility. They can be easily further wrapped or repainted if individual adjustments are desired. For optimal care, Ilmberger also offers specially tailored care products that are perfectly matched to the used paint and help maintain the gloss or matte elegance over a long period.
