DYNOcamo Black

STEK DYNOcamo Black is a black film from STEK's DYNO Pattern Damascus and Camo range. STEK lists 2 other black shades, so it is worth seeing them side by side before you settle on one.

This is color paint protection film from STEK's DYNO Pattern Damascus and Camo line, not a vinyl wrap. The color sits inside the film itself, so one layer changes the car and shields the paint from rock chips at the same time. It is thicker than wrap vinyl, the top layer is elastomeric so it absorbs impact instead of transmitting it, and light swirls and scratches self-heal with heat. It costs more than vinyl in the same shade, and it is the choice when you want the color change to also be the protection.

Living with black in the Pacific Northwest

Black is the hardest color to keep looking perfect and the best looking when it is. Every swirl and every water spot shows, and in Seattle that means drying the car rather than letting it air dry after rain. Dark colors show water spots, dust and wash marks sooner than light ones, and our rain leaves spots the moment it dries on a panel. Drying the car after a wash rather than letting it air dry is most of the battle.

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