Metallic Gloss Vibrant Violet

Avery Dennison Metallic Gloss Vibrant Violet is a metallic violet film from Avery Dennison's SW900 range, catalogued as SW900-522-M.

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.
