Most deep greens buy their richness by going dark, and end up looking black on an overcast day. Ruby Green keeps the depth and keeps the green. The metallic sits close under a high-gloss surface, so the color reads as a cut gemstone rather than a coat of dark paint.
Ruby Green is a true jewel green, lit from inside by the flake rather than by brightness in the pigment. Direct sun opens it right up into a clear emerald that holds its color instead of blowing out to a pale wash. Overcast light is where it earns its keep, dropping to a deep forest tone that still reads unmistakably green when most metallic greens have already gone to near-black. On a car with strong shoulder lines, the gloss pools the color in the creases and lifts it across the curves.
Love those deep factory greens on an Audi or an Aston? Now run that jewel tone on your M4, 911, Mustang, Continental GT, or Model 3.
Conformable polymeric material with stable color pigments. Suitable for complete car wrapping (or any other smooth or curved surface).
Important note: The images, colors, and finishes on the screen are approximate. For an accurate representation of the product, always check the color swatch. Rolls from the same production LOT number should be used for completing a wrap job as a slight batch-to-batch variation of color may occur. The film may scratch during the application or a day in and out use. The warranty does not cover the scratching of the film.
