The premium cast vinyl wrap film that delivers a flawless, paint-like finish, revolutionary installation technology, and long-lasting durability for professional results.
The Ultimate Paint-Like Finish for Vehicle Customization
3M™ Wrap Film Series 2080 High Gloss is the pinnacle of vehicle wrap technology, engineered to provide a stunning, ultra-smooth, paint-like finish. This dual cast film is more conformable and stretchable than ever, allowing for a perfect fit around complex curves and deep channels. A key innovation is the proprietary protective film layer on all gloss films, which stays on during installation to reduce surface impressions and scratches, then removes easily to reveal a flawless, high-gloss surface. It’s the ideal choice for professionals and DIY installers seeking a premium, long-lasting result.
At the core of the 2080 Series are 3M’s exclusive Comply™ and Controltac™ adhesive technologies. Controltac™ features microscopic glass beads that create a low initial tack, allowing the film to be slid and repositioned with ease until firm pressure is applied. The Comply™ system uses non-visible air release channels to ensure a smooth, bubble-free application every time. This installer-first design makes for a faster, more efficient process, saving time and delivering professional-grade results.
With a warranty of up to 8 years, the 2080 High Gloss series offers peace of mind and protection for your investment. The film is resistant to mild acids, alkalis, and salt, and it helps protect the original paint from scratches and fading. Available in a 60-inch roll width for seamless coverage of large vehicle sections, the 3M 2080 High Gloss series is the ultimate solution for full vehicle wraps, accent styling, and chrome deletes.

Frequently Asked Questions
3M™ Wrap Film Series 2080 High Gloss is a premium dual cast vinyl wrap film engineered to deliver a stunning, paint-like finish that rivals factory automotive paint. What sets it apart is a combination of four key innovations: a transparent protective film layer on all gloss films that prevents surface impressions and scratches during installation, 3M's proprietary Controltac™ adhesive with microscopic glass beads for easy repositioning, the Comply™ air release channel system for bubble-free application, and a highly conformable dual cast construction that stretches and conforms to complex curves and deep body channels. The result is a high-gloss, ultra-smooth surface finish that is faster to install, more forgiving during application, and longer lasting than previous generations of vinyl wrap film.
3M™ Wrap Film Series 2080 High Gloss is engineered for long-term durability, carrying a warranty of up to eight years for vertical surface applications. Under normal environmental conditions, you can expect the wrap to maintain its high-gloss appearance and performance for five to seven years. For the easiest and cleanest removal, 3M recommends professional removal within three to four years of application. Factors that influence the lifespan include geographic location, climate conditions, UV exposure intensity, whether the vehicle is stored indoors or outdoors, and regular maintenance practices. The film is resistant to mild acids, alkalis, and salt, and it actively protects the original paint from UV fading, minor scratches, and road debris throughout its service life.
The 3M™ 2080 series represents a significant upgrade over the 1080 series in several important areas. The 2080 film is more conformable and stretchable, allowing for a smoother, more precise installation around complex curves and deep channels with less heat required. The most notable new feature exclusive to 2080 gloss films is the transparent protective film layer that stays on during installation to minimize surface impressions and scratches from squeegee work, then peels away cleanly after application to reveal a flawless, pristine finish. The 2080 series also benefits from an improved Controltac™ and Comply™ adhesive system that provides better repositionability and more reliable air release, making the installation process faster and more efficient for both professional installers and experienced DIY enthusiasts.
A DIY installation is possible for those with prior vinyl wrap experience, as the Controltac™ and Comply™ technologies make the film more forgiving during application by allowing repositioning and providing reliable air release. However, professional installation is strongly recommended for full vehicle wraps to ensure the best possible results and to validate the 3M warranty. The high-gloss mirror finish makes any imperfections, lifting edges, or trapped air highly visible, and achieving a truly flawless result on complex body panels requires specialized tools, a controlled environment, and extensive hands-on experience. For accent applications such as hood wraps, roof wraps, or chrome deletes on flat or gently curved surfaces, experienced DIY installers can achieve excellent results with proper preparation and technique.
Maintaining your 3M™ 2080 High Gloss wrap requires regular care to preserve the paint-like finish and extend the life of the film. Hand washing with a gentle, pH-neutral automotive soap and soft microfiber cloths is the preferred cleaning method. Avoid automatic car washes with rotating brushes, as they can scratch and dull the gloss surface. Never use abrasive cleaners, solvent-based products, or rough materials that could damage the film. Immediately clean off fuel spills, bird droppings, tree sap, and insect residue to prevent staining or chemical damage to the film surface. After washing, dry the vehicle thoroughly with clean microfiber towels to prevent water spots. For added protection and shine, vinyl-safe detailing sprays or ceramic coatings formulated for wrapped surfaces can be applied.
No. When applied to original equipment manufacturer factory-cured paint in good condition, 3M™ 2080 High Gloss wrap film will not damage the underlying paint upon removal. In fact, the film acts as a protective barrier, shielding your vehicle's original finish from minor scratches, stone chips, UV exposure, and environmental contaminants throughout the wrap's service life. The pressure-activated Controltac™ adhesive creates a secure bond during use but can be safely removed by a professional without harming properly cured OEM paint surfaces. It is important that the paint is fully cured for at least ninety days, in good condition, and free from previous damage, poor-quality repairs, or aftermarket repaints before wrapping. Always consult with a professional installer to evaluate your vehicle's paint condition prior to application.
The 3M™ 2080 High Gloss series offers nineteen colors spanning the full spectrum of automotive styling preferences. The collection includes High Gloss Black, High Gloss White, High Gloss White Aluminum, High Gloss Storm Gray, High Gloss Nardo Gray, High Gloss Meteor Grey, High Gloss Sky Blue, High Gloss Blue Raspberry, High Gloss Flip Deep Space, High Gloss Ruby Rosso, High Gloss Hot Rod Red, High Gloss Burnt Orange, High Gloss Citric Acid, High Gloss Bright Yellow, High Gloss Green Envy, High Gloss Military Green, High Gloss Mantis Green, High Gloss Plum Explosion, and High Gloss Black Metallic. Every color in the range features the same dual cast construction, Controltac™ and Comply™ adhesive technologies, protective film layer, and up to eight-year warranty, ensuring consistent performance and a flawless paint-like finish regardless of the color chosen.
Colors of Tint Film
Window tint films are available in a range of colors to suit various aesthetic preferences and functional needs. The most common tint colors are charcoal, black, and gray, which offer a neutral look that complements any vehicle color, providing good heat rejection and privacy while maintaining visibility.
These shades are widely chosen for their classic appearance and practical benefits.
In addition to the standard colors, there are more exotic tint options that appeal to vehicle owners looking for customization and unique style. These include blue, green, gold, and bronze tints, which can enhance the exterior look of a vehicle with a distinctive and personalized touch. These colors can vary in their light transmission levels and heat rejection properties, often chosen more for their style rather than performance.
Furthermore, there are reflective or mirror-like tints that provide a high level of privacy and excellent heat rejection by reflecting sunlight away from the vehicle. This type of tint can have a more aggressive, high-tech look. There are also gradient tints, which transition from one color at the top to another at the bottom, offering both style and function by providing sunlight gradient control.
For those interested in even more specialized options, there are chameleon tints, which change color depending on the angle of light and viewing angle, and holographic tints that create a prismatic effect under sunlight. These exotic varieties are less common and can be more costly, but they provide a unique aesthetic that can set a vehicle apart from the rest.
Automotive Tint Darkness
Window tint films are classified by the amount of light they allow in, by percentage. A 5% tint is much darker - and almost universally illegal on passenger vehicles - than a 50% tint. Factory tints on rear windows tend to be in the 50-70% range, so buying something on the lighter side might not actually accomplish what you are going for.
State laws regarding window tint are quite clear, and law enforcement officers don't always have a sense of humor about illegal tint. Know the laws governing car modifications in your area. If you are going to exceed the legal darkness level, know the potential consequences of your decisions.

What is the Difference Between Ceramic and Nano Ceramic Tint?
If you have chosen a pre-cut tint, Rtint offers several added benefits. For starters, Rvinyl is the only manufacturer that warranties DIY kits. Traditionally, the DIY route led you straight into "you break it you bought it" territory. We offer you the peace of mind and confidence to tackle the job on your own, knowing that the manufacturer won't blame every defect on your inexperienced craftsmanship. If something goes wrong and it was the tint kit's fault, Rtint will make it right.
Additionally, Rvinyl window tint kits have discounted replacement parts, so you do not need to purchase an entire kit if you make a mistake. This will also help to build your confidence level as you tackle such a daunting project. Our kits are shipped in crush-proof tubes and boxes. Creases ruin tint kits and there's no way to salvage the job, so we make sure your tint kit will arrive safely every time.
A successful do-it-yourself project will instill a tremendous amount of pride in yourself and your vehicle knowing you have accomplished a difficult task, and the do-it-yourself approach will give you complete control over the quality of the materials used for your car. If you take it to a shop and have a professional do the work, they aren't likely to give you the full range of choices available. They'll use the materials they have on hand, and you can't be sure they are sitting on the correct side of the price-quality trade-off.
With our wide variety of tint levels and kit options, Rvinyl is sure to have a kit to suit your needs. If we don't offer a tint kit for your make and model, you can craft your window tint from whole sheets. Browse our huge selection of window tint above.
