Why Choose 3M™ 2080 Gloss Black Metallic?

The 2080 Series represents the pinnacle of vinyl wrap technology. Its enhanced conformability means the film stretches and molds to your vehicle's contours with minimal effort, reducing installation time and frustration. The dual-layer cast construction provides exceptional dimensional stability, ensuring your black metallic car wrap won't shrink or distort over time. Whether you're wrapping an entire vehicle, creating custom accents, or executing a chrome delete, this film delivers professional results that last.

Key Features of 3M™ 2080 Gloss Black Metallic:

The 3M™ 2080 Series Gloss Black Metallic vinyl wrap incorporates industry-leading technology designed for both professional installers and experienced DIY enthusiasts. The film features a high-gloss finish with a fine metallic flake that creates a subtle, shimmering effect under light. The dual-cast construction provides superior conformability, allowing the film to stretch and mold around complex curves, deep recesses, and challenging body lines without tearing or wrinkling.

A key feature of the 2080 Gloss series is the removable protective cap layer, which shields the film from scratches and scuffs during the installation process. Once the wrap is applied, this layer is removed to reveal a pristine, high-gloss surface. The pressure-activated adhesive system with Controltac™ technology offers low initial tack, giving you the freedom to reposition the film until you achieve perfect alignment. Once you apply pressure with a squeegee, the Comply™ air-release channels allow trapped air to escape effortlessly, ensuring a smooth, bubble-free application every time.

With up to eight years of outdoor durability and UV resistance, this wrap protects your original paint from stone chips, light abrasions, and harmful sun exposure while maintaining its deep black color and metallic sparkle. The 60-inch width allows for seamless coverage of large panels like hoods, roofs, and doors, minimizing visible seams and creating a truly custom appearance. When it's time for a change, the film removes cleanly without damaging your factory paint, making it the perfect choice for leased vehicles or those who like to update their look regularly.

Frequently Asked 3M Gloss Black Metallic Wraps Questions

Have a Question? We’ve Got the Answer!

What is the difference between Gloss Black and Gloss Black Metallic?

Gloss Black (G12) is a pure, solid black with a high-shine, reflective finish. Gloss Black Metallic (G212) has the same high-gloss finish but is infused with fine metallic flakes that create a subtle, shimmering effect when exposed to light. The metallic finish adds depth and character compared to the solid gloss black.

Is the metallic flake very noticeable?

The metallic flake in 3M 2080 G212 is fine and designed to be subtle and sophisticated. In low light, the wrap will appear as a deep gloss black. In direct sunlight, the metallic flakes will sparkle and become more apparent, creating a dynamic, eye-catching effect.

Is the 3M 2080 Gloss Black Metallic wrap difficult to install?

The 2080 Series is designed with enhanced conformability and advanced adhesive technology, making it more user-friendly than previous generations. The inclusion of a protective cap layer on gloss films helps prevent scratches during installation. The Controltac™ repositioning technology and Comply™ air-release channels help ensure a bubble-free application. While professional installation is always recommended for the best results, experienced DIYers will find this film easier to work with than many other brands.

How do I care for a gloss black metallic vinyl wrap?

Care for a gloss metallic wrap is similar to caring for high-quality automotive paint. Hand washing is recommended with a pH-neutral car wash soap and soft microfiber towels. Avoid automatic car washes with harsh brushes. You can use a spray wax or sealant designed for vinyl wraps to enhance the gloss and add a layer of protection.

How much does it cost to wrap a car in Gloss Black Metallic?

Professional installation costs typically range from $3,000 to $7,000 for a full vehicle wrap, depending on the size and complexity of your vehicle. Material costs for a standard roll (60" × 25 yards) are approximately $900-$1,000. The metallic finish can sometimes be slightly more expensive than standard gloss colors.
