3M does not release new colors often. Plum Explosion is one of the newest in the 2080 lineup and, in our opinion, the hottest wrap color of 2026. This McLaren 650S is the reason we feel that way.

The color is a high-gloss purple with real depth — not the washed-out version that shows up everywhere. It shifts between electric and deep depending on the light. Against the raw carbon fiber throughout the 650S, it does not need anything else to work.

The carbon panels — roof, hood, rear spoiler, and decklid — were covered in STEK paint protection film. Exposed carbon looks great until it chips, scratches, or the clear coat starts yellowing under constant UV exposure. On a car at this level, protecting those panels with PPF is not optional. STEK film is optically clear enough that you still see the carbon weave exactly as intended.

We also wrapped the door jambs. McLaren dihedral doors open up and out, which means the jamb is fully visible every time the car is accessed. Leaving that in factory color on a fully wrapped car is the kind of miss that tells you the job was not finished. We finished it.

Brand new Porsche GT4 RS Clubsport. First livery before its first track event at Flatrock Motorclub.

Coastal Racing brought this car to AZRagIPS for a full race livery using Oracal 970RA cast vinyl. The yellow elements you see in this build are not printed. They are metallic Oracal 970RA film cut to shape and layered over the base graphics. That is why they shift with the light the way they do. Printed yellow sits flat. Metallic yellow moves.

Multilayer livery builds take significantly more time than a standard printed wrap. Each layer is a separate installation step, with edge alignment that has to be precise enough to survive the heat cycles and stress a competition car goes through at speed. Film that lifts on a race car becomes a debris problem. We treat these installs differently because the environment demands it.

The car runs under the Coastal Drilling banner with supporting sponsors Kari and Yost Drilling. Sponsor placement on a race car is not decorative work. Logos have to land where they will be visible from timing towers, camera positions, and photo angles on track. We accounted for all of it.

Some trucks get wraps. This one got spot graphics that fit the vehicle and the brand it was built to represent.

XS Power Batteries brought their GMC Kodiak C4500 to AZRagIPS for branding work. The truck was already a custom build: slammed stance, widebody proportions, deep orange paint on a medium-duty platform. Adding a full wrap would have buried what the truck already was. Spot graphics were the right call.

We applied the XS Power branding in TeckWrap Twill Carbon RCF11, a 4D textured carbon fiber vinyl. Against high-gloss orange, the twill weave pattern creates depth that flat black cannot. The graphic catches light differently at every angle. At the scale needed to fill a Kodiak's door panels, that difference between flat and textured is the difference between a sticker and a build element.

The logo covers the majority of both door panels, the quarter panel, and the rear glass. The XS Power Batteries URL runs across the tailgate. Every viewing angle is covered.

Knowing when to do spot graphics versus a full wrap is part of the job. When the vehicle already has a strong visual identity, the brand work should complement it. Not compete with it.

This Hyundai Veloster Turbo started as a blank canvas. The owner wanted a full custom livery. We built the design in-house: red, black, and white splatter graphics printed on clear film and applied over the factory white paint. Then we covered the whole build with 3M paint protection film.

The clear film approach is deliberate. By printing onto clear vinyl rather than white, the factory paint becomes part of the design. The white sections you see in the livery are not ink. They are the car. The result integrates with the vehicle in a way a standard printed wrap cannot match.

The PPF layer on top protects the printed graphics from UV fading, stone chips, and surface abrasion. Printed ink is more vulnerable than solid vinyl. For a build with this much design investment, protecting it with PPF is not optional.

This car recently came back to us for a different reason. The front bumper was involved in an accident and the owner filed an insurance claim through our shop. This is becoming more common as wraps become mainstream. When a wrapped vehicle takes damage, the repair is not a repaint. The graphic has to be matched, re-printed, and re-installed to the original standard. AZRagIPS works directly with insurance companies on wrap repair claims. If your wrapped vehicle has been in an accident, contact us before going to a body shop that has never worked with vinyl.

Porsche chose Stuttgart for a reason. We chose Fir Tree Green for this one.

This Porsche 911 Carrera came in for a full color change wrap in Oracal Gloss Fir Tree Green. The color is a deep forest green with a high-gloss finish. It is a modern take on the kind of rich European tones the 911 has worn at its best moments in motorsport history.

Wrapping a 911 is a precision exercise. The rear quarter panels are wide and curved with compound contours that require the film to conform rather than lie flat. The hood and front fascia have their own geometry. Oracal cast film handles complex curves with consistent tension distribution and no visible texture raise once heat-formed.

White with gloss black up top. The Lincoln Navigator already had black wheels. This tuxedo top finished the look.

We applied 3M 2080 Gloss Black to the roof and all pillars, leaving the white body panels untouched. The three-element combination of white body, gloss black roof, and black wheels creates a coherent look that reads intentional from every angle.

On a full-size SUV like the Navigator, a tuxedo top also has a practical visual effect: it lowers the roofline. The Navigator is a tall vehicle. The gloss black panel breaks up the verticality and shifts the eye toward the length of the profile instead.

For a gloss finish, the film has to be flawless. Any tension, bridging, or poor edge work shows immediately in the reflection. Every pillar is a different profile, and every termination point gets tucked rather than exposed. That is what separates a tuxedo that holds up from one that starts lifting in a year.

This Dodge Charger S**t Pack came in for a partial wrap with an in-house design built around the hood. The concept used a carbon fiber visual treatment to add depth and texture to the hood panel without going to a full wrap.

Partial wraps on performance vehicles require design discipline. The wrap has to look like it belongs on the car, not like a sticker placed on a factory finish. The hood design was developed in-house and scaled to the specific dimensions of the S**t Pack hood, accounting for the power bulge and panel lines before any film was cut.

The result is a hood that reads custom without fighting the factory exterior. The rest of the car stays stock, which keeps the investment focused and the visual impact high where the customer wanted it.

Full color change on an Escalade 600 with a gloss black tuxedo top. Two materials, one coherent result.

The body panels went down in 3M Satin Dark Grey. The roof and all pillars wrapped in 3M Gloss Black. The contrast between the two finishes creates a two-tone look that works particularly well on the Escalade's tall, wide profile. The tuxedo top visually lowers the roofline and pulls the design together without requiring any permanent modification.

Running two materials on one vehicle means every seam and edge transition has to be managed precisely. Satin film shows imperfections at panel edges and termination points immediately. Gloss on the pillars carries its own demands. Getting both right on the same vehicle requires planning the install sequence before the first panel goes down.

Not every commercial vehicle needs a full wrap. This Toyota Tacoma for American Handyman is a good example of why spot graphics can be the smarter call.

The truck came in with a clean white factory finish. Adding a full wrap would have meant covering a surface that did not need it. Instead, we installed spot graphics covering the doors and key brand elements, keeping installation cost down while delivering the professional presence the company needed.

For service contractors working in East Tennessee, visibility on the road and jobsite matters. A branded truck says you are established, that you take the work seriously, and that you are easy to reach. A phone number and logo on a clean white truck accomplishes that without the cost of a full color change.

British Racing Green has been tied to motorsport for over a century. On a C6 Corvette, it earns that association.

This customer brought in their C6 for a full color change wrap in KPMF Gloss British Racing Green. The color is deep and saturated, closer to a factory finish than most vinyl colors that attempt to approximate it. KPMF cast film carries the gloss level and color consistency needed to make a classic color read as intentional rather than aftermarket.

The C6 has long, horizontal panels on the doors and hood that reward color depth. The front bumper and rear fascia required close work around vents and curves to keep edges clean. Done right, a wrap like this reads factory. Done wrong, the termination points give it away immediately.
