Reflective for car wrap

[Geneva Olson]

We just got a project where we are wrapping a car in printed reflective. Does anyone know of a reflective wrap that is more reflective than others?

I don't, but please let us know how that install goes. I do not envy anyone trying to wrap a car in reflective.

Sounds challenging, it won’t work and will cost you a lot of money. Upload pics when your done thought.

5650RA. Doesn't sound like fun.

I have never used it myself, but I hear good things about this:

3M™ Scotchlite™ Print Wrap Film 780mC-10R.​

The whole car? I used to do partials just covering patrol car doors and it was a pain.

If you got any compound curves, bruising and ink stretch marks are going to be your enemy.

Use 3M DG for the most visibility.

I can't speak to what has the highest reflectivity, but we buy 3M's vehicle grade reflective for even decals that need to go over big body lines on fords. Hopefully it's in your price--that stuff is 4k a bundle!

We've used Arlon IllumiNITE Wrap Flite Technology 5 Mil 7 Yr. Very low initial tack and it doesn't "bruise" easily or at all from what I can tell and reflectivity looks great.

Personally, I like the 3M IJ680CR-10 over the 780 version. Last time we used 780 we had a lot of edge lifting over time, so we just went back to 680 and don't have issues. I wouldn't want to wrap bumpers with it, but otherwise I think it would work.

just ordered arlon illuminite. my fellers rep told me the highest visibility os 3m780. however, we are going with arlon since it's less bruising.. will post photos when we are done.
