## Description

desertcart.com: 3M 1080 G212 Gloss Black Metallic 5ft x 1ft (5 Sq/ft) Car Wrap Vinyl Film : Automotive

Review: The real deal - Purchased 3M 1080 G212 GLOSS BLACK METALLIC in a 5x1ft sheet--specifically from seller VViViD Vinyl, just in case something changes on this product page in the future. I received 100% genuine, high quality 3M 1080 vinyl, packaged professionally. Bought the 3M 1080 line in G212 GLOSS BLACK METALLIC specifically because I had read that it was a good color match for Tuxedo Black on my 2015 Ford F150. Far exceeded my expectations, I used it to cover holes in the body behind where the factory badges used to sit, and you have to be less than a foot away and looking very closely to even notice that it isn't factory paint. I've never used vinyl this good before. Highly glossy (good match for a vehicle clear coat), very thin application (great for me, no white outline like you would see with thicker vinyl), very sticky, but easy to reposition, and it hasn't budged since I applied it. I mentioned thin, but the product stretches and seems very robust and sturdy, I have no concerns about the adhesive lifting or the vinyl getting damaged--it's already been through the car wash once and nothing changed. Great product, packaging was excellent, will definitely revisit the 3M 1080 product line and VViViD Vinyl for any of my vinyl needs in the future!
Review: Matches Dodge "Brilliant Black" quite well - More difficult than I expected, I used it to cover part of the top of my headlights to give it a cleaner body line. That being said, it appears to be a very high quality and once it's on there, it looks really good. I put a coat of wax over it as soon as I put it on the car, and it took the wax with no problems at all. It's been through probably 20 automatic car washes and it sits in the sun all day. So far, a few months later, no problems.

## Features

- When applied correctly to the appropriate hard surface the film is very durable and scratch resistant.
- When heated and stretched it can be applied to extreme curved surfaces with a little patience and work.
- The film is coated with a UV protective layer which lasts up to 7 years outdoors.
- Once applied and bonded to you surface you may clean it and polish it with any type of cleaning agent that is used for painted surfaces.
- Rapid Air adhesive needs to be applied dry and can be re lifted, repositioned and stretched before going over with a squeegee.
