Vehicle Wraps 101: Is Black the Only Matte?
It always makes me happy when a client mentions something I didn’t even think of. In this case, he happened to read about our ‘Back in Black’ which discussed matte black wraps. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of black, but it would not be my first choice. Hence a discussion that was sparked surrounding this very topic.
In fact, there are a few ways we can go matte. For one, many materials come in a matte finish. Since most prefer shiny, that’s usually the house standard. However, you can also special request a matte finish. When a vehicle wrap is printed, the full color digital print may be coated with a matte laminate. For some, this might be the right choice. We recommend matte for many indoor applications such as tradeshow displays. You might consider matte if the vehicle is just for show, say at a museum.
Matte wraps can also be done in other colored vinyls, such as red, green or blue. They are done exactly the same as the black matte wraps but with alternate vinyl colors. I can’t say we’ve had any of these requests or even that they are very popular…but in the interest of earning my quarter, they are possible.
As with a matte black wrap, a colored matte wrap protects the paint. It will last 3 – 5 years with proper care. (You can’t use any chemicals or wax over the vinyl.) Depending on the size of the vehicle, it can be installed in about one day. Again, it’s perfectly safe for leased vehicles and can be easily removed by a professional. Matte wraps are baaack…in color.
