Wrapping a Frozen paint?

I was thinking about wrapping most of the back fenders with Xpel Stealth. Mainly because the small rocks that are put down for ice. My only worry is if it will ruin the matte paint when removed?

It shouldn't. Frozen paint is the same as regular paint, except for the flattening agent in the clear coat. So it should be ok with a clear wrap.

I wrapped my FG M4 without hesitation...i haven't tried to peel it off, of course, but I'm not worried about it getting damaged when i do.

The only thing i made sure of was that i used an installer that had done many matte finish cars before, just so he knew everything to expect. I also had him ceramic coat the car, for which i would definitely say you need an installer that knows how to prep a matte car and what products to use.

I was told by my installer (Xpel Stealth) it would be not problem, they have wrapped and unwrapped many frozen BMW's and Mercedes. Frozen black here as well.
