Gunmetal Vinyl Wraps

Gunmetal wraps are very deep shade of gray mixed with blue and give the appearance of real metal. Whether we're talking about the brushed, satin flecked or gloss varieties, the fact that the term “gun” is included in the name lends an aggressiveness to the color that it may not have otherwise had. Additionally, gray is regarded as a more serious hue, and the darkness of gunmetal gray further adds to that somber perception. Its richness means that it’s best used to convey a sense of authority or seriousness with an almost martial edge. Temper its heaviness by using brighter colors around it, such as bright yellows and oranges. If you’re looking to create a darker aura in your design, using a significant amount of the color can easily accomplish that.
