Shadow Forged Matte Black Carbon Fiber Vinyl Wrap

Shadow forged black carbon fiber vinyl wrap uses a matte finish over a pattern of large, angular carbon fiber shards where each shard face catches or blocks ambient light at a different angle. There is no shimmer coat, yet the surface produces strong contrast between sections deep black where light is absorbed, silver where it redirects off the shards faces. The effect shifts as the viewing angle changes.

The film works across full exterior panels, complete car wraps, and interior trim surfaces. The 30% stretch handles compound curves on bumpers, mirror caps, and pillar sections without distorting the fragment pattern. The solvent-based acrylic adhesive with air-release liner lets you align the pattern before applying final pressure.

Features And Specifications

• Pattern: Shadow forged carbon fiber large angular shards oriented in multiple directions, each face catching or absorbing light independently with no repeating structure across the surface.
  
• Color: Deep black with shifting dark-to-silver contrast depending on viewing angle.
  
• Finish: Matte fully muted surface with no shimmer or gloss coat.
  
• Durability: Rated for 3 years on exterior vertical surfaces.
  
• Weatherproof: Resists moisture, humidity, and prolonged water exposure without lifting or bubbling.
  
• Protective: Guards against surface corrosion, minor abrasions, and everyday staining.
  
• Temperature range: Stable from -50°C to 110°C (-58°F to 230°F) in service.
  
• Stretch: Up to 30% conforms to full panels, hoods, bumpers, and curved surfaces without distorting the shard pattern.
  
• Adhesive: Solvent-based acrylic — bonds firmly, repositions clean before final press, and removes without leaving residue.
  
• Installation: Air-release channel liner lets you adjust positioning before committing, reducing waste on complex panels.
