Pearlescent Vinyl Wraps

Pearlescent Series vinyl wraps are a great way to give your vehicle a mother-of-all-pearl look or any other object you prefer. All of our Pearlescent Series films feature either a satin, low gloss finish or a glossy sheen with a subdued iridescence that resembles natural mother of pearl. This nacre or polychromic base is then accentuated by the predominant hue of each of these different Pearlescent wraps. Best of all, our premium Pearlescent films are made from multi-cast vinyl with pressure-sensitive, air-release adhesives so you can get bubble-free results no matter how extreme the angles and curves of your ride may be.

What Is Pearlescent Vinyl?

Simply put, Pearlescent vinyl pigments are covered in mica platelets that ensure both color and appealing visual results to a ton of plastics, printing inks, and coatings. You will get a reflective look that is transparent and because of the smooth surface of the vinyl, reflects light. The light that is reflected from the platelets makes it feel brighter depending on the changing of the particle size. We also have some pearlescent pigments that are iridescent that look different depending on the angle you see them from.
