Transform your vehicle with the bold, sophisticated look of the 3M™ 2080 Brushed Black Metallic (BR212) vinyl wrap. This is more than just a color; it’s a tactile experience.

It’s the perfect choice for those who want to make a powerful statement with a finish that is both visually striking and physically engaging.

A Finish That Commands Attention

The Brushed Black Metallic wrap offers a unique, semi-matte appearance that minimizes glare while maximizing visual depth.

This aggressive yet refined finish is ideal for creating a stealthy, modern appearance on sports cars, trucks, and SUVs, or for adding a touch of industrial elegance to luxury vehicles. It’s a finish that stands apart from the crowd, conveying a sense of precision, strength, and cutting-edge style.

3M™ 2080 Brushed Black Metallic (BR212) FAQ

Have a Question? We’ve Got the Answer!

What is a “brushed metallic” finish and how is it different?

A brushed metallic finish is a unique, textured vinyl that mimics the appearance of real brushed metal, like aluminum or stainless steel. Unlike a standard metallic wrap, which has a smooth, painted-on look, a brushed finish has a tangible, directional grain that you can see and feel. This texture interacts with light in a very different way, creating a look that is both industrial and sophisticated. It offers a custom, machined aesthetic that cannot be achieved with a simple gloss, matte, or satin film.

Is the brushed texture real? Can you actually feel it?

Yes, the texture is real. The 3M™ 2080 Brushed Black Metallic film is manufactured to have a physical, embossed grain that runs in a single direction. When you run your hand over the surface, you can feel the fine lines and ridges that replicate the look of a piece of metal that has been wire-brushed. This tactile quality is what gives the finish its authentic and premium feel.

How do I properly wash a vehicle with a Brushed Black Metallic wrap?

Due to its textured surface, it is best to hand wash a vehicle with a brushed wrap. Use the two-bucket method with a pH-neutral, wax-free car shampoo and a soft microfiber wash mitt. When washing and drying, it is recommended to follow the direction of the grain to avoid pushing dirt into the fine textures. For stubborn dirt, you can use a soft-bristled brush (like a detailing brush) to gently agitate the area, again moving with the grain. Always rinse the vehicle thoroughly to remove all soap residue.

Does the brushed texture trap more dirt than a smooth wrap?

The textured grooves of a brushed wrap can hold onto fine dust and dirt more than a perfectly smooth gloss or satin film. However, with regular and proper washing, this is not an issue. Using a soft brush during washes can help dislodge any particles that have settled into the grain. Applying a ceramic coating specifically designed for textured and matte finishes can also make the surface more hydrophobic, making it easier to clean and less likely to hold onto dirt.

Can I wax or apply a ceramic coating to my Brushed Black Metallic wrap?

You should never apply traditional waxes, polishes, or any gloss-enhancing products to a brushed metallic wrap. These products can fill in the fine grain of the texture, ruining the brushed effect and creating a blotchy, uneven appearance. However, you can and should use a ceramic coating specifically formulated for matte, satin, and textured vinyl. These coatings provide a durable layer of protection against UV rays and contaminants without altering the look or feel of the brushed finish.

Does the brushed finish have a specific installation direction?

Yes, absolutely. The brushed grain runs in one direction along the length of the vinyl roll. It is critical that every panel on the vehicle is installed with the grain running in the same direction to ensure a consistent, uniform appearance. If adjacent panels are installed with the grain running in different directions (e.g., one vertical and one horizontal), the difference will be immediately obvious and will look like two different colors or finishes.

Does the Brushed Black Metallic wrap have a protective cap layer?

No, films with a textured, matte, or satin finish in the 3M™ 2080 Series, including Brushed Black Metallic, do not come with a protective cap layer. This is because the cap layer is glossy and its removal could damage the delicate textured surface. Installers must use extra care during application to avoid scratching or damaging the film.
