3M 1080 G212 Gloss Black Metallic 5ft x 1ft (5 Sq/ft) Car Wrap Vinyl Film

Purchased 3M 1080 G212 GLOSS BLACK METALLIC in a 5x1ft sheet--specifically from seller VViViD Vinyl, just in case something changes on this product page in the future. I received 100% genuine, high quality 3M 1080 vinyl, packaged professionally.Bought the 3M 1080 line in G212 GLOSS BLACK METALLIC specifically because I had read that it was a good color match for Tuxedo Black on my 2015 Ford F150. Far exceeded my expectations, I used it to cover holes in the body behind where the factory badges used to sit, and you have to be less than a foot away and looking very closely to even notice that it isn't factory paint. I've never used vinyl this good before.Highly glossy (good match for a vehicle clear coat), very thin application (great for me, no white outline like you would see with thicker vinyl), very sticky, but easy to reposition, and it hasn't budged since I applied it. I mentioned thin, but the product stretches and seems very robust and sturdy, I have no concerns about the adhesive lifting or the vinyl getting damaged--it's already been through the car wash once and nothing changed.Great product, packaging was excellent, will definitely revisit the 3M 1080 product line and VViViD Vinyl for any of my vinyl needs in the future!

More difficult than I expected, I used it to cover part of the top of my headlights to give it a cleaner body line. That being said, it appears to be a very high quality and once it's on there, it looks really good. I put a coat of wax over it as soon as I put it on the car, and it took the wax with no problems at all. It's been through probably 20 automatic car washes and it sits in the sun all day. So far, a few months later, no problems.

first time using 3m and this worked great. easy to use and apply, this matched my C8 corvette carbon flash paint very well!!! couldn't be happier.

I installed this on my A pillars and they look great and stay on even through the car wash.

Packaging was great. They used a PVC pipe on the inside of the box so it wouldn't get crushed and damage the wrap. 3m wrap is very high quality. Spend the extra $ on 3m. Don’t waste your time with VVivid wraps or anything else. Bonus is that I got 3m 2080 instead of 1080.

I ordered 2 of these in BLACK METALLIC. Because of the lining overlay, you really can't tell the difference between the various shades of black. You would just have to trust the they sent you the correct color. They actually labeled it, and both of mine were labeled correctly. I installed it, peeled it, and found that one of them were METALLIC, while the other was just a FLAT BLACK. Complete waste of time and $75. They aren't cheap!!! I couldn't get a refund because I passed the return window.

I like it, but would not use this again. First of all, the stock edges on the roll (I got 3 rolls) are not cut straight. So, if you are depending on 12" width and need straight lines, pass on this. I used this to produce 10" wide racing stripes. What I do like is once you master the short installation learning curve is that this applies without air bubbles.What I don't like is that once it barely touches the surface you are installing onto, it really sticks - not easy to peel up and reposition without stretching the material as you pull it up again, which creates more problems when it comes time to smooth out.Also, it scuffed surprising easy from a microfiber towel as I worked on one small air bubble. Maybe it needs time in the sun to become more durable.I would not install this again without making sure the wet install method could be used with it.

If this was sold in a smaller quantity, I would have given it six stars. I only use vinyl for my Chevy bowties. The smallest quantity I could purchase was 5 square feet. I literally needed less than 1 square foot. Would have been nice to pay for the amount I needed. Even 2.5 square feet would have been a nice option. Anyway, other than that, this stuff is great. Near perfect color match to my Black Granite metallic paint. Easy to cut. Easy to position and reposition. Easy to smooth out. I didn't use a heat gun or blow dryer or anything like that. I just peeled off the backing and stuck it on. I give it my amateur, DIY seal of approval. ;)
