TeckWrap Velar (BLKM-X) is a matte black color paint protection film built for drivers who want stealth aesthetics and serious impact protection in a single install. The Lotus Effect hydrophobic top coat repels water, dirt, and road grime so the matte finish stays clean with minimal upkeep.
At 274 µm total thickness with a 199 µm application layer, Velar absorbs rock chips, debris, and minor abrasions while staying flexible enough to wrap complex curves. Heat-stable up to 130°C, with ≥99% UV rejection to prevent fading. The 1500 g/inch adhesive bonds securely and peels clean without paint damage.
Key attributes:
Ideal for stealth builds, blacked-out custom projects, performance vehicles, and any project where matte aesthetics and PPF-grade protection both matter. Perfect for BMW M-Series, Audi RS, Porsche, Tesla, Mercedes-AMG, Lamborghini, or any premium build that deserves stealth presence with serious armor.
Order a sample first or grab a full roll. Backed by TeckWrap's decade of paint protection film manufacturing experience and worldwide installer network.
