Color Flip Purple Sunset

TeckWrap Color Flip Purple Sunset is a color flip purple film, catalogued as RD20PRO-HD. TeckWrap lists 17 other purple shades, so it is worth seeing them side by side before you settle on one.

This is color change wrap vinyl from TeckWrap's catalog. 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 color flip finish

A color flip film travels between two distinct shades depending on the angle you view it from and the light it is in. The effect is strongest on curved panels, where a single fender can show both ends of the shift at once.

Living with purple in the Pacific Northwest

Purple almost always carries flake or a pearl shift, so it changes character between sun and cloud more than a flat color does. Photographs rarely capture what it does in person. Mid-tone colors are the easiest to live with here: they hide both road film and water spotting better than either black or white.

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