Dark green is a hard color to get right. Too often it looks black unless the sun is directly on it. Jewel Green holds onto its green tone much better. The satin finish also softens reflections, so you see more of the color and less glare.
Jewel Green changes more than you might expect. In direct sunlight, the emerald comes forward and the metallic flake becomes much easier to notice. Move the car into open shade and the color settles into a deeper racing green with a cool blue hint underneath. The satin finish keeps everything controlled. You don't get the bright reflections of a gloss wrap, but you still see the depth sitting below the surface. That's what gives Jewel Green its character.
If Aston Martin Racing Green has always caught your eye, Jewel Green gives you a similar feel without limiting it to one badge. It looks just as natural on a Supra, Corvette C8, Mustang, or almost anything else you want to wrap.
