Most metallic greens look lively in direct sun, then lose their character the moment the light fades. Ocean Green holds onto its color and metallic depth long after many greens turn flat.
Ocean Green shifts more than most metallic greens. In softer light, it settles into a deep emerald tone with visible metallic texture beneath the surface. As sunlight hits the panel, fine gold highlights emerge from the flake and brighten the finish. The metallic grain stays active across the bodywork, giving the color structure rather than a simple glossy appearance. Its look separates it from a typical aftermarket green. Ocean Green carries the layered depth usually associated with high-end factory paint.
Conformable polymeric material with stable color pigments. Suitable for full car wrapping (or any other smooth or curved surface).
Note: Products that have "HD" letters in their SKU (product code) are with the plastic release liner (high-gloss films)
Tools: Soft squeegees with buffers
Important note: The images, colors, and finishes on the screen are approximate. For the real 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 scratching of the film is not covered by the warranty.
