3M 2080 Series G12 Gloss Black - 5ft x 1ft - 5sq ft - Dual Cast Thick Vinyl Car Wrapping Film - Bubble Free Vehicle Sheet Roll

Quite happy with the color and quality. First time using wrap and it worked well for my project. I thought 3M 2080 was supposed to have a clear film, but this satin color did not, wasn't a big issue.

I've had this applied to my backyard stormdoor for about a month. It prevents obvious scratch marks from appearing after my rottweiler scratches it daily to be let inside. Slight scratch indentations up-close, but from a distance it's completely unnoticeable! Easy to cut and apply (and re-apply) with very manageable bubble removal. Flexible enough to take solid form over any curved or edged surface and does not peel from rain or heat. *However, the "matte" finish is not a flat value; the color value changes slighly depending on the angle of light on the surface.

Arrived on a roll, safely packed in a box shipped via UPS. The vinyl itself looked like the color/sheen in the picture. Turned out as well as I’d expect it to based on installation experience (zero). I did three separate sections of the front end of a side by side. If possible, keep the panels attached to the vehicle, otherwise you’ll need a helper to put tension on the tough spots that merit heating and stretching. I detached the hood but was able to leave it in place for bracing. My side pieces required removal and trying to prevent the adhesive backing from creasing and sticking to itself with a wiggly substrate is impossible. If you’re a DIYer with minimal experience, not expecting perfection, and just need a color change or to protect factory paint, it’ll work just fine. I didn’t bother removing any of the factory decals so the outline is visible up close as expected. New ones overtop will improve that, although it’s barely noticeable from 10 feet away as is. Took me a few hours for B minus end result. Could have been closer to an A minus if I’d solicited help from the beginning.

It’s easy to work with, bubbles can be removed with a hair dryer BUT the color is not the same sadly, it’s way more metallic and less brown in person

Wanted to use this wrap so that it would match my carbon flash parts on my corvette and this wrap looks exactly the same

This was very easy to use! Made sure to prep the area (wash and rubbing alcohol). Measured and cut to size. Applied and used my tuck tools. Before making the final cut, I used a heat gun to relax the wrap (it stretched enough to allow for extra movement around edges). Cut and pressed with tuck tools. End result is amazing!! Adhesive is very strong. Definitely be careful when applying the heat gun. Once heated wrap sticks to itself it makes it hard to pull apart. Make sure that you’re at the final step of your work when using heat.

I'm very happy with the quality of this product. The color really makes my drone stand out against a blue or Grey sky (important for line of sight flying. I haven't had an opportunity to scale the craft to see if it is still under 250 grams). Only time will tell if the color stays this vibrant. I had to freehand every sticker. It was time consuming, but the material was relatively easy to work with. When the time came, the stickers were fairly easy to separate from the backing and adhered to the textured surface well.

I used VViViD vinyl wrap on my trucks interior before ordering this wrap to replace that vinyl after only a few months of the initial wrap. I read many great reviews suggesting that this wrap is far superior to VViViD vinyl. Neither of these wraps are great in my opinion. VViViD was much easier to apply; however, when the heat began their wrap started to lose its adhesiveness, leaving me no choice but to replace it. RVinyl is thicker which is nice but I am unable to get it to adhere to the items I am wrapping throughout my truck. I see that it is 3M, but it is absolutely junk. Carbon fiber: The carbon fiber look is very nice. Texture: It appears and feels like actual carbon fiber.
