Satin Car Wrap Vinyl
Satin car wrap vinyl sits between matte and gloss. It has a soft, low sheen that catches a little light, so the color keeps its depth, while hiding more dirt and light swirls than gloss. Shades run from satin black and grey to green, pink and heavy metal flake. Every roll is 1.52 m (5 ft) wide with air release adhesive and free shipping.

Satin car wrap FAQ
Is satin easier to keep clean than matte?
Yes, in daily life. The low sheen hides dirt and light swirls better than gloss, and fingerprints show far less than on matte. Clean it with a satin safe cleaner, not wax.
Does satin black look like paint?
It looks like a satin paint finish: a soft sheen with no mirror reflections. Metallic Black Satin adds fine flake that catches the light up close.
Satin black or matte black?
Matte is flat and hides the most, but shows oils. Satin keeps a little depth and is easier to live with. Our matte black wrap guide walks through the choice.
Can I wax a satin wrap?
No. Wax and glossy detail sprays leave blotchy shine on a satin face. Use a satin safe cleaner and skip machine polishing.
Can I see the sheen before I buy?
Yes. The sample swatch book is $45 and lets you compare satin, matte and gloss samples side by side in your own light.
