Custom Fade and Gradient Wraps

Quick Overview

Gradient car wraps use planned color placement, allowing one color to transition into another instead of covering the entire vehicle in a single color. This collection features a variety of combinations such as black and pink, white and pink, black and blue, Tiffany and black, to name a few and is available in a variety of other vehicle-specific designs and fade options as well as gradient vinyl wraps.

You may choose any color style that you prefer, explore designs that have already been displayed for particular vehicles, or proceed to a custom gradient if you don't see anything you're contemplating.

The designs in this collection differ not only in color pairing, but also in how and where the transition happens. It's about the harmony of colors and the quality of the color change between them.

Black-Based Gradient Wraps

Black is used a lot in the darker end of a gradient as it creates a clear transition to brighter colors. This contrast is utilized in a variety of ways in black-to-pink, black-to-purple, black-to-blue, and black-to-white designs.

Black-to-pink creates one of the stronger contrasts, while black-to-purple keeps more of the overall look on the darker side. Black and Blue will give a dark base a cooler direction and black and white will provide a more neutral two tone look.

Light and Pastel Gradients

Lighter shades will produce a different effect. White-to-pink and Cotton Candy fades feel less visually heavy than black-based fades, which can create a softer transition across larger body panels.

If you are interested in the concept of a gradient but don't want the darker side of the car to be the main attraction, then these are good initial ideas to consider.

High-Contrast Color Fades

There are some fades that are created around two colors that don't necessarily have to be a dark base and a bright second color. Red-to-green is one example in the current collection.

It's with combinations like these that the fade is one of the first things you notice. They are more appropriate for builds where the color change is supposed to be a more prominent feature of the build than a subtle one.

Two-Tone Fade Wraps

A two-tone fade wrap blends two colors together instead of separating them with a hard line.

It's an important distinction to have to make when exploring this collection. A black-to-pink fade and a black-and-pink split wrap can be the same colors, but are not the same look. In a fade, there is a transition area where both colors are visible before one color takes over.

There are some current two tone directions in the collection – black to pink, black to purple, black to blue, black to white, Tiffany to black and white to pink. It's often a better starting point to compare these existing pairings rather than picking two colors at random.

Gradient Wraps by Vehicle

There are some designs in this collection that already have a specific vehicle so if you want to view more than just a color sample, these are useful.

Tesla and Cybertruck Gradient Wraps

There are also a few designs based on the Tesla that are included in the collection too like dedicated Cybertruck fades in black to blue and Tiffany to black.

The color transition is particularly noticeable on full-vehicle images, due to the big, uninterrupted side surfaces on the Cybertruck. Tesla designs can therefore also serve as references, even if you are primarily looking to compare the percentage of each color you are interested in seeing.

Dodge Gradient Wraps

Black-to-pink and Tiffany-to-black are available on Dodge's Charger applications, and black-to-white is available on the Challenger.

The Charger has a long side profile, which provides a useful reference for comparing a strong front-to-rear color change with a normal solid-color wrap.

Other current examples are the black-to-pink Ford Bronco, black-to-white Infiniti G35, red-to-green Infiniti Q60, black-to-red Mazda hatchback and the white-to-pink Ferrari design.

When driving another vehicle, use these simply as design references and do not expect exactly the same transition to be found in the same area on another body shape.

Here are some current gradient color pairings.

These combinations give you different starting points when choosing a gradient.

Gradient, Fade, and Ombre Wraps

Automotive designs that are very similar and have one color blending into another often are referred to as gradient wrap, fade wrap, color fade or ombre wrap.

The practical difference is a position-based color transition versus a color-shift finish. The gradient/fade is intended to have varying colors of different sections of the vehicle. The color shift wrap will shift color primarily as lighting conditions and viewing angle vary.

Use this collection for the color change if you want the change to be visible, all over the car. If you want the same panel to appear different as the viewing angle or lighting changes, look at Color Shift Vinyl Wraps.

Gradient Wrap Ideas on Real Cars

In a fade, the real vehicle is more helpful to use than a small color sample, as it will indicate the amount of room the fade will take up.

The Dodge Charger Daytona gets a black to pink gradient paint job in one RAXTiFY build. **Its long doors and quarter panel give the transition more room to develop before pink becomes the dominant color toward the rear of the Charger.**

A custom pink-to-black gradient has also been installed on a 2025 Ford Bronco Badlands, and a custom black-to-purple gradient has been spotted at SpringFest Seattle. **Such builds demonstrate how the same gradient concept can appear differently across a long muscle car, a boxier SUV, and other body styles.

With gradient wrap ideas, don't just look at the two colors. Consider where the color will become dominant and how the changeover overlays the entire length of the vehicle.

Ready-Made Gradient Designs vs. Custom Gradient Wraps

You don't have to begin all your gradient jobs from scratch.

If you already, for example, like the color combination in one of these designs or you want to start with a design that is already made for the vehicle you are interested in, you can choose one of those designs. **This lets you see the intended color combination before deciding whether you need further customization.**

If the fades listed above don't match your vision, the next step is the Custom Gradient Vinyl Wrap. This product is where you can customize your colors and other design details.

Similar Wrap Styles to Consider

A gradient is not the only method to break out of a solid color.

If you are looking for color changes as it is exposed to light and viewing angle, rather than location on the vehicle, browse Color Shift Vinyl Wraps. Consider Custom Design Car Wraps for graphics, patterns, artwork, or other printed ideas rather than a color fade.

If you have an overall color in mind but haven't narrowed down a particular design style, then Shop Car Wraps by Color might be a better choice.

Gradient & Fade Wrap FAQ

Q1. Is there a difference between fade wrap and gradient wrap?

Q2. What is the meaning of “2 tone fade wrap?”

A two-tone fade wrap features two primary colors with a gradual transition between them. The first color gradually fades into the second color unlike a regular 2-tone, with a hard line between the two.

Q3. What is the difference between a "gradient wrap" and a "color-shift wrap"?

A gradient changes color based on its position across the vehicle. The color-shift wrap can shift color primarily based on lighting and viewing angle.

Q4. Do all the gradient wraps for this collection fit a specific vehicle?

No. General gradient concepts and designs are included as well as concepts and designs for specific vehicles like Tesla, Dodge, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda and Ferrari.
