Protect Original Factory Paint
A vinyl wrap protects your vehicle's paint from scratches, minor abrasions, and fading due to UV exposure.
Gloss Black Red Chameleon Vinyl Wrap is a color-shifting film built on a deep black base, enhanced with red chameleon pigments and a high-gloss surface. At first glance, the wrap appears dark, sleek, and understated. As light moves across the surface or the viewing angle changes, red tones gradually emerge beneath the black, creating a controlled and intentional color shift rather than a dramatic flip.
The gloss finish sharpens reflections and increases surface clarity, allowing the red undertones to appear richer and more dimensional. In bright lighting, the red highlights become more visible along edges and curves. In lower light, the wrap returns to a near-black appearance, maintaining a stealthy presence with just a hint of depth.
This wrap is designed for drivers who want a bold visual identity without constant brightness. It delivers contrast, movement, and attitude while remaining refined and usable for daily driving or performance builds.
Built with advanced air-release adhesive technology, our Gloss Black Red Chameleon Vinyl Wrap allows for smooth, bubble-free installation and easy repositioning. It is a paint-safe, fully reversible solution for transforming your vehicle’s appearance without permanent modification.
What Is Gloss Black Red Chameleon Vinyl Wrap
Chameleon vinyl wrap is known for its ability to change color depending on lighting conditions and viewing angle. In the black red version, this effect is deliberately restrained.
Instead of shifting between multiple bright colors, the wrap focuses on a black-dominant appearance with red undertones that reveal themselves selectively. Metallic chameleon pigments embedded in the film react to light, allowing red hues to surface along contours, edges, and curved panels.
The gloss top layer amplifies this interaction by reflecting light cleanly, enhancing depth and clarity without overwhelming the base color. The result is a finish that feels layered and intentional, rather than flashy or unpredictable.

Gloss Black Red Chameleon vs Other Chameleon Finishes
Black Red Chameleon vs Full Spectrum Chameleon Wraps
Many chameleon wraps shift across multiple bright colors, creating a strong visual effect at all times. While eye-catching, these finishes can feel overwhelming or difficult to match with other design elements.
Gloss black red chameleon vinyl takes a more focused approach. The color shift remains within a narrow range, allowing the wrap to look black most of the time, with red accents appearing only when conditions are right.
Black Red Chameleon vs Solid Gloss Black Wrap
Solid gloss black delivers a clean, classic appearance but lacks variation across panels.
The black red chameleon finish introduces depth and movement without sacrificing the stealth aesthetic. Red highlights follow body lines and edges, adding character without changing the vehicle’s overall identity.
Where Gloss Black Red Chameleon Vinyl Works Best
This wrap is especially effective on vehicles with sharp body lines and sculpted surfaces, where light naturally interacts with edges and contours.
Exterior applications include:
-
Full vehicle wraps for a stealth-inspired look with attitude
-
Hoods, roofs, doors, and quarter panels
-
Mirrors, spoilers, and accent sections
Interior and custom uses include:
-
Dashboards and center consoles
-
Interior trim panels
-
Motorcycles, helmets, and custom projects
-
Decorative panels and personal equipment
The gloss surface enhances reflections, making the red undertones most visible on curves and edges.
Why Choose Black Red Chameleon Wrap from Yeswrap
Yeswrap’s Gloss Black Red Chameleon Vinyl Wrap is manufactured using high-quality polymeric vinyl designed for consistent performance and reliable installation.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive includes integrated air release channels that help eliminate bubbles and wrinkles during application. The film can be lifted and repositioned, allowing precise alignment before final adhesion.
With up to 30% stretchability, the vinyl conforms smoothly to curved panels, recessed areas, and complex shapes without distorting the gloss finish or disrupting the chameleon effect.
High-Quality Vinyl with a Cost-Effective Price
Achieving a deep black finish with subtle color-shifting effects through paintwork can be costly and permanent. Gloss Black Red Chameleon Vinyl Wrap offers a similar layered appearance at a fraction of the cost.
The material cost for a full sedan wrap typically ranges from $630. Accent applications or partial coverage often remain under $300 in material. Professional installation, including vinyl, usually ranges from $3,000 to $5,000, depending on vehicle size and complexity.
Because the wrap is removable, it allows you to explore a bold yet controlled color style while preserving original paint and resale value.
Multiple Size Options Available
Our Gloss Black Red Chameleon Vinyl Film is available in multiple size options to fit different project needs. From small sheets for trim pieces to full 5 ft by 59 ft rolls for complete vehicle wraps, you can select the size that best matches your application while minimizing material waste.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
For best results, proper installation and care are essential.
-
Clean the surface thoroughly using isopropyl alcohol to remove dust, wax, and oils.
-
Measure and cut the vinyl, leaving extra material for trimming and adjustments.
-
Apply the film from the center outward using a felt-edge squeegee.
-
Use controlled heat to help the vinyl conform to curves and recessed areas.
-
Apply post-heat to secure edges and activate adhesive memory.
For maintenance, regular hand washing with mild soap is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners or automatic car washes with stiff brushes to preserve the gloss surface and color clarity.

FAQs
No, the vinyl films we sell have a non-permanent adhesive, making them easily removable. Typically, a vinyl wrap lasts 3-7 years, depending on the material used, driving conditions, sun exposure, and storage. When it’s time to remove the wrap, it can be done without damaging the paint, returning your car to its original color and condition. While some glue residue may be left behind, it can be easily removed with rubbing alcohol or by rubbing it off with your finger.
It's recommended to remove the vinyl wrap after 3-5 years, as leaving it on longer could potentially damage the clear coat and even the paint. However, issues may arise if the car was repainted, resprayed, or if the paint was already in poor condition at the time of installation. In such cases, there is no guarantee that the vinyl wrap won’t cause damage or peel off paint during removal, and this applies to all brands of vinyl wraps.
Our vinyl films are versatile and can adhere to a variety of surfaces, both vehicle's exterior and interior, as well as marine and architectural applications. The vinyl will stick confidently to any painted surface on a vehicle and most smooth, non-porous materials like bare metal and plastic. However, it may not adhere well to certain interior surfaces, such as rubber (soft or hard), leather, and non-smooth plastics that are ribbed or textured.
Vinyl films typically last between 3 to 7 years, depending on the environment. In sunnier climates, such as the Southern United States (California, Florida, Texas, etc.), the lifespan of the vinyl may be reduced by 20-30% due to stronger sunlight exposure. The closer you are to the equator, the faster the vinyl may fade or crack. This is especially true for colors with a high content of red pigment, such as red, purple, yellow, pink, and copper, which tend to fade more quickly.
The quality of the installation also plays a crucial role in the durability of the wrap. A properly installed wrap will maintain its look and feel longer and is less likely to fail by curling or peeling back.
To calculate the amount of vinyl needed to wrap your vehicle, you can use the following simple formula:
- Determine Vehicle Length: Measure the length of your vehicle in inches.
- Multiply by 3: Multiply the length by 3 to cover both sides and the top.
- Add Extra Vinyl: Add 5 to 15 feet for bumpers, mistakes, and complex areas.
- Round Up: Always round up to the nearest roll size.
Example Calculation:
For a 2016 Ford Mustang, which is 188 inches long:
- Length Calculation: (188" x 3) + 10 ft = 47 ft + 10 ft = 57 ft.
- Closest Roll Size: You would need to purchase a 5ft x 60ft roll.
♦ Small size cars can be fully wrapped with 50 to 55 feet / 15 to 16.8 meters of vinyl.
example of vehicle sizes:
Audi A3 & A4, BMW 2 & 3 series, Mitsubishi Lancer, Subaru Impreza, VW Golf & Beetle & Jetta, Hyundai Elantra, Nissan Sentra, Mercedes C-class
♦ Midsize cars can be fully wrapped with 60 to 65 feet / 18.3 to 19.8 meters of vinyl.
examples of vehicles:
Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, Ford Mustang, Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, VW Passat & CC, Nissan Maxima/Altima, Audi A5 & A6, BMW 5 series, Mercedes E-class, Hyundai Sonata,
♦ Full-size cars; small SUVs, small trucks & small vans need 60 to 70 feet / 18.3 to 21.3 meters of vinyl
examples of vehicle sizes:
Audi A7 & A8, Ford Taurus, Chevrolet Impala, BMW 7 series, Mercedes limousines & S class, Hummer 3, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser
♦ Full-size SUVs, trucks & minivans 70 to 85 feet / 21.3 to 25.9 meters of vinyl
examples of vehicle sizes:
Suburban, Escalade, Land Rover, Cayenne, Hummer, H2, Voyager, Town & Country, Sienna, Routan

Vinyl wraps are not intended to match the original color of your vehicle. They are designed to change or replace the vehicle's color with unique, non-OEM options that manufacturers create. Vinyl wrap films are made by mixing pre-mixed dye with PVC-based material, which is then produced into large rolls of vinyl.
Due to the nature of the manufacturing process, even wraps from the same color batch can have slight shade differences. This variability means that a perfect color match to your vehicle’s original paint is not possible with vinyl wraps. Their primary purpose is to provide a distinct and customized look rather than replicate the existing color.
