Metallic Gloss Gothic Rose

Avery Dennison Metallic Gloss Gothic Rose is a metallic film from Avery Dennison's SW900 range, catalogued as SW900-402-M. Avery Dennison lists 152 other SW900 colors, so it is worth seeing them side by side before you settle on one.

This is color change wrap vinyl from Avery Dennison's SW900 line. It resurfaces the car in a new color and can be removed later without touching the factory paint underneath, which is why wraps hold resale value in a way a respray does not. Vinyl changes how the car looks; it is not impact protection, so if you also want the paint shielded from rock chips, the same kind of color exists as color paint protection film at a higher price.

The metallic finish

Metal flake is suspended in the film, so the color sparkles under direct sun and settles into a deeper, flatter shade indoors and under overcast. It photographs unusually well and hides light road film better than a flat color does, which is worth something on a Pacific Northwest commute.

Care: hand wash with a wrap-safe soap and a soft mitt, and dry the car rather than letting it air dry.
