BLK Phantom is a deep gloss black paint protection film that gives you a mirror smooth black finish and guards the paint underneath at the same time. The black sits on top while the film takes the chips and scratches that would otherwise reach your factory paint.
BLK Phantom reads as a pure, neutral gloss black with no blue or brown cast. The mirror finish gives it real depth, so highlights run long over the body and the reflections stay sharp instead of flat. It looks like a deep factory gloss black rather than a plain vinyl black, and it holds that depth across curves and flatter panels alike.
If you want a pure gloss black with real depth and paint protection in one film, BLK Phantom suits any build that looks right in a deep factory black, from clean daily drivers to performance cars.

The screen’s images, colors, and finishes are approximate. For accuracy, always check the color swatch. Rolls from the same production LOT number should be used to complete a wrap job, as slight batch-to-batch variations may occur. Handle metalized films carefully; overstretching, crumpling, or excessive heat may alter the appearance. Scratching during application or daily use is not covered by warranty.
