Protect Original Factory Paint
A vinyl wrap protects your vehicle's paint from scratches, minor abrasions, and fading due to UV exposure.
Gloss Blue Iridescent Vinyl Wrap features a rich blue base layered with subtle iridescent tones that appear naturally as light moves across the surface. In softer lighting or shade, the color reads as a deep, clean blue. Under sunlight or direct reflections, hints of purple, teal, and violet etc rainbow begins to appear, adding depth and movement to the surface rather than a flat finish.
This wrap is designed for drivers who want more character than a standard gloss blue, without jumping to an overly bright or flashy color. The glossy surface enhances reflections and makes curves, body lines, and edges stand out naturally, especially on larger panels like hoods, doors, and roofs.
Built with air-release adhesive technology, this gloss blue iridescent wrap installs smoothly and can be repositioned during application. It offers a paint-safe, non-permanent way to refresh exterior panels, add visual interest to accents, or create a unique color-shift effect that changes throughout the day.
What Is Iridescent Vinyl Wrap
Iridescent vinyl wrap uses light-reactive pigments to create subtle color variation depending on viewing angle and lighting conditions. Rather than locking the surface into a single tone, the vinyl reflects different hues as light passes over it.
This Gloss Blue Iridescent Vinyl Wrap combines a strong blue foundation with restrained iridescent highlights. The result is a finish that feels dynamic but controlled, offering visual interest without overpowering the base color.

Iridescent Blue vs Standard Gloss Blue Vinyl
Standard gloss blue vinyl delivers a consistent color from every angle. Iridescent blue vinyl adds another layer by introducing subtle color shifts that appear only when light hits the surface in certain ways.
The result is not a dramatic color change, but a finish that feels more alive. It stays blue at its core while offering added depth and visual interest, especially on curved panels and sharp body lines.
Where Can Gloss Blue Iridescent Vinyl Be Applied
This vinyl wrap works well across a wide range of applications, including:
-
Vehicle hoods, roofs, doors, mirrors, and pillars
-
Accent panels, trims, and contrast sections
-
Interior elements such as dashboards and center consoles
-
Motorcycles, helmets, laptops, and custom projects
Its color-shifting effect is most noticeable on surfaces that catch light throughout the day.

Cost of a Gloss Blue Iridescent Car Wrap
Gloss Blue Iridescent Vinyl Wrap offers a distinctive color-shift appearance at a fraction of the cost of specialty paint finishes.
A 59 ft roll typically costs around 630 dollars and is enough to fully wrap most sedans. Partial wraps or accent applications usually cost under 300 dollars in material. Professional installation, including vinyl, generally ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 dollars depending on vehicle size and complexity.
Compared to custom paint or pearlescent coatings, iridescent vinyl wrap remains a reversible and cost-effective option.
Multiple Size Options Available
Our Gloss Blue Iridescent Vinyl Wrap is available in multiple size options to suit different projects. From 5ft by 10ft for hood or roof wrap to 5ft by 59 ft for full vehicle wraps, you can select the size that fits your needs while minimizing waste.
How to Install Gloss Blue Iridescent Vinyl Wrap
This iridescent blue vinyl is suitable for both DIY users and professional installers. Air release channels help reduce bubbles, while the adhesive allows repositioning during application.
-
Clean the surface thoroughly using isopropyl alcohol to remove dust, wax, and oils.
-
Measure the application area and cut the vinyl, leaving approximately two extra inches on all sides.
-
Apply the vinyl from the center outward using a felt-edge squeegee to push air away evenly.
-
Use a heat gun set between 80°C and 100°C to soften the vinyl and help it conform to curves and recessed areas.
-
Trim excess material carefully, then apply post-heat to seal edges and activate adhesive memory.

- Magnets
- Gloves
Application Guidelines:
Follow standard procedures for applying calendered films. Avoid overstretching or overheating the material. Post-heating is essential to ensure proper adhesion and finish.
Post-Heating Guidelines:
- Flat Surfaces: Heat to 110°C for optimal adhesion.

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.
