Bold Color. Premium Cast Film.

The Hexis Skintac HX20228B Gloss Wasabi Green vinyl wrap is one of the most visually arresting color-change films available today. Its vivid, saturated green tone sits at the intersection of bold street style and refined gloss depth — a shade that commands attention on any vehicle, from compact hatchbacks to full-size SUVs and commercial fleets. Unlike generic green films that flatten out under sunlight, Wasabi Green carries a dynamic luminosity that shifts subtly with the angle of the light, giving the finished wrap a lively, almost paint-like quality that sets it apart from the competition.

This film belongs to the Hexis SKINTAC HX20000 Series — a premium multilayered cast vinyl line engineered for professional installers and serious DIY enthusiasts who demand the best from their materials. The HX20000 series is manufactured in France by Hexis Graphics, a company with decades of experience producing high-performance vinyl films for the automotive, commercial, and architectural markets. The Wasabi Green variant carries all the hallmark qualities of the HX20000 platform: exceptional conformability, advanced HEX'Press air-release adhesive technology, and a durability rating of up to six years on vertical surfaces.

Whether you are planning a full vehicle color change, a partial accent wrap, a roof and hood transformation, or a chrome delete project, the Hexis HX20228B delivers the kind of professional finish that makes the effort worthwhile. This guide covers everything you need to know — from the film's technical specifications and installation advantages to sizing guidance, care instructions, and the tools that will help you get the best possible result.

HEX'Press: Smarter Adhesive Technology

The defining technical innovation of the Hexis SKINTAC HX20000 series is the HEX'Press adhesive system. This structured, repositionable adhesive is engineered from the ground up to address the two most common frustrations in vinyl wrap installation: trapped air bubbles and misaligned film placement. The HEX'Press system solves both problems simultaneously through a precisely engineered microstructure on the adhesive surface that creates invisible air-release channels throughout the film.

These channels allow air to evacuate naturally as the film is applied, dramatically reducing the formation of bubbles and silvering without requiring the installer to work the film aggressively with a squeegee. The result is a smoother, faster application process that is more forgiving of the inevitable imperfections that occur during real-world installation — particularly on complex surfaces with compound curves, deep channels, and recessed areas where air tends to become trapped.

The repositionable nature of the HEX'Press adhesive is equally important. During application, the film can be lifted and repositioned without losing adhesion or leaving residue, giving installers the ability to correct alignment before committing to a final position. This is especially valuable on large panels like hoods, roofs, and door skins, where even small misalignments become visible in the finished result. Once the film is properly positioned and squeegeed down, the pressure-activated adhesive creates a strong, permanent bond that holds the film securely for years.

The adhesive is solvent-based acrylic with a transparent formulation, meaning it does not affect the color or finish of the film above it. The liner is a PE HEX'Press liner designed to release cleanly and consistently, even in cold conditions where other liners can become brittle and difficult to work with. The application method is dry — no slip solution is required — which simplifies the setup and reduces the risk of moisture-related adhesion issues.

Six Years of Protection and Color

A vinyl wrap is an investment, and the Hexis HX20228B is built to protect that investment for the long term. The film is rated for up to six years of durability on vertical surfaces under normal environmental conditions — a performance standard that places it firmly in the premium tier of the vehicle wrap market. This durability rating encompasses not just the physical integrity of the film but also its resistance to color fading, surface degradation, and adhesive failure over time.

The HX20000 series is formulated to resist a wide range of environmental stressors that degrade lesser films prematurely. UV radiation, which is the primary cause of color fading in vinyl wraps, is addressed through the film's multilayered construction and UV-stabilized color coat. Road contaminants including mild acids, alkalis, and salt — all of which are present in everyday driving conditions — are resisted by the film's surface chemistry, helping it maintain its appearance even in regions with harsh winters or coastal environments where salt exposure is significant.

The gloss finish of the HX20228B also contributes to its durability. Gloss surfaces are generally easier to clean than matte or satin finishes, as contaminants have less surface texture to adhere to. Regular washing with a gentle automotive soap and the occasional application of a vinyl-specific sealant will keep the Wasabi Green finish looking its best throughout the life of the wrap. When the time comes to remove the film — whether for a color change, a vehicle sale, or simply a refresh — the HEX'Press adhesive releases cleanly with the application of heat, leaving the underlying paint intact and undamaged.

Versatile Uses for Every Project

The Hexis HX20228B Gloss Wasabi Green is a genuinely versatile film that works across a wide range of application types. The most common use is a full vehicle color change wrap, where the film covers every exterior painted surface to transform the vehicle's appearance completely. At 60 inches wide, the HX20228B roll is wide enough to cover most vehicle panels in a single pass, minimizing seams and creating the seamless, paint-like finish that distinguishes a professional wrap from an amateur one.

Partial wraps and accent applications are equally well-suited to this film. A Wasabi Green roof wrap on a black or white vehicle creates a striking two-tone effect that is both contemporary and distinctive. Hood wraps in this color make an immediate visual statement on performance-oriented vehicles. Mirror caps, door handles, and pillar trim wrapped in Wasabi Green provide a cohesive accent color that ties together a custom build without the commitment of a full wrap.

Chrome delete applications are another strong use case for the HX20228B. The film's gloss finish and precise cut capability make it ideal for covering chrome trim elements — window surrounds, door handle bezels, grille accents, and body side moldings — with a clean, color-matched alternative that modernizes the vehicle's appearance. The film's ability to conform to the complex profiles of chrome trim pieces without lifting or wrinkling is a direct benefit of the HX20000 series' cast construction and HEX'Press adhesive.

Commercial and fleet applications are also a natural fit. The HX20000 series' durability rating and consistent color formulation make it reliable for fleet branding projects where multiple vehicles must match precisely and maintain their appearance over years of daily use. The 60-inch roll width and availability in longer roll lengths make it practical for high-volume production environments where efficiency and material consistency are priorities.
