Want to Give Your Car an Amazing Outfit? Try the Gray Vinyl Film On!

Why wrap your car in the matte grey film?

Humanity has been polishing its cars for so long that “the shine” has become an integral part of our lives. But why not stand out from the crowd and give your vehicle a matte look? Subtle and gentle, today it is the true king of the road. And its elegant glory outshines even the shiniest of the cars. And the best way to achieve that — is to professionally wrap your vehicle in matte vinyl wrap.

What about the colors? Yes, bright and daring might be catching the eye, but gray is a sign of good taste and style.

The maximum effect is achieved if the gray matte wrap is matched to chrome parts and car rims.

Thanks to the conformability of PVC with different automotive surfaces, you can complement the inner design of the vehicle, for example, to wrap the dashboard of the gear shift knob. Ask for advice from our Tinting Chicago professionals — they will recommend the best ways for your vehicle and perform the perfect vinyl wrapping without air bubbles and other imperfections.

Matte vinyl film is not just posh and elegant. It’s also super practical

The quality vehicle wraps are not just made for beauty and style. They protect your car from dirt, rocks, scratches, and oil. And, what’s most important — play a part in keeping the durability of your vehicle’s factory paint. By wrapping your car in matte vinyl film, you can be sure that the paint stays as fresh as new.

Car vinyl wrap also protects the vehicle from exposure to chemicals, especially used on winter highways in large metropolitan areas such as New York or Chicago.

Tinting Chicago provides a two-year guarantee of the quality of all our wrapping services. And the manufacturers of the films, 3M and Rayno, are using special UV protection technology that helps to provide an extra two-year warranty against vinyl wrap fading.

Why don’t just paint the car in matte gray? Wrapping vs Paintwork

You can also paint your car and it also will look great and cost pretty much the same ($2000 – $5000), but there are some obvious benefits of self-adhesive film wrapping against paintwork.

1. The wrap is removable, the paint — not. Wrapping your car helps you to protect the original paint. When you decide to remove the film, your car will still look brand new. High-quality films that we use in Tinting Chicago are truly a great product — they are removed easily after the install.
2. The film is durable and will protect your vehicle against small rocks, UV and chemicals. Paint can be easily damaged after one unlucky gravel ride.
3. Warranty. For example, the matte 3M wrap film series we provide goes with 7 years of protection for vertical applications and 2 years on horizontal, 8 years expected outdoor performance, and 2 years warranty from fading (thanks to UV filters). Paintwork — does not come with a factory warranty.
4. You don’t have to wax the wrap, unlike paint. Regular washing is good enough for automotive vinyl wraps.

To fully wrap a vehicle only takes 2 days. Paintwork can stretch for a week or more: each layer of paint has to dry before application of the other one.
