Short answer: Chameleon colored PPF is a color-shift film that changes hue with the viewing angle and light, purple to pink, gold to blue, green to grey, while protecting the paint with self-healing 8 mil TPU. It's the premium, end of colour change, available in gloss and matte and backed by a 10-year warranty.
Popular color-shift combinations

Available in both gloss and matte chameleon.
What makes chameleon different
The flake shifts colour as you, or the sun, move around the car, so it looks different from every angle and photographs differently in every shot. It's the most attention-grabbing finish in the range, and the most premium. Chameleon is best appreciated in direct sunlight; under heavy cloud it settles toward its base tone.
Durability & warranty
Veloro's 8 mil self-healing TPU is rated for up to about 10 years and carries a 10-year limited warranty; the top coat shrugs off wash swirls and reseals itself with heat.
Chameleon colored PPF vs chameleon vinyl
A chameleon vinyl wrap gives the colour-shift effect for less, but it doesn't self-heal or protect the paint. Chameleon colored PPF delivers the same shifting look plus self-healing stone-chip and UV protection, the premium all-in-one choice.
How much does chameleon colored PPF cost?
As film (DIY rolls), chameleon colored PPF runs from about $229 for partial/accent pieces to roughly $2,200–$2,600 for a full-car roll. Chameleon and iridescent films sit at the top of the range (up to ~$3,100). Professional installation, if you don't DIY, is extra. See the full colored PPF cost guide for the breakdown.
