When working on a vehicle of this calibre, the quality of the finish needs to reflect the quality of the car.

That was the thinking behind MW Graphics’ transformation of a brand-new Range Rover SV LWB using 3M Wrap Film Series 2080 High Gloss Black, supplied by William Smith.

The Range Rover was wrapped from top to bottom ahead of a special handover to its new owner. By combining the enhanced finish of the 3M High Gloss range with a considered approach to material selection, MW Graphics created a deep, premium black appearance suited to one of Range Rover’s most exclusive models.


A Premium Product for a Premium Vehicle

The Range Rover SV sits at the top end of the Range Rover line-up, combining luxury, performance and distinctive design. For MW Graphics, it therefore made sense to choose a premium wrap film capable of delivering the high-quality appearance the vehicle demanded.

3M 2080 High Gloss Black was selected for the visible exterior panels because of its enhanced gloss levels and reflected image quality. The finish gives the wrap a deep, mirror-like appearance that more closely resembles high-gloss automotive paint than a conventional gloss vinyl.

It was an important consideration on a vehicle with large, uninterrupted panels and a commanding road presence. Any inconsistency would be easy to spot, making both the choice of film and the quality of the installation particularly important.

Matching the Material to Each Area

Although 3M 2080 High Gloss Black was used across the exterior body panels, MW Graphics took a slightly different approach to less visible areas of the vehicle.

Standard 3M 2080 Gloss Black was applied to the door backs, shuts and returns. The High Gloss film was reserved for the exterior panels, where its increased depth and reflected image quality would have the greatest visual impact.


What Makes 3M 2080 High Gloss Different?

Developed specifically for vehicle personalisation, 3M Wrap Film Series 2080 is a multi-layer cast film suitable for full and partial vehicle wraps.

According to 3M, its High Gloss colours offer 250% better reflected image quality than a typical premium cast vehicle wrap film, helping installers create a smoother, more mirror-like finish.

Underneath, 3M Controltac technology reduces the adhesive’s initial contact area, supporting positioning and repositioning during installation. Comply technology incorporates non-visible air-release channels to help installers remove trapped air and produce a smooth finish.

A Range Rover Ready for Handover

Once the exterior panels, door shuts and returns were complete, the Range Rover had a cohesive black finish throughout, including the areas only seen when the doors are opened.

With the transformation complete, the Range Rover was ready to be handed over to its new owner with a suitably premium new appearance.
