1. Top Protective film is included only on full rolls (59ft) of gloss vinyls.
For smaller, pre-cut pieces of glossy vinyl, the protective film is removed before shipping to ensure a smooth surface without air bubbles or creases. This does not affect the quality of the vinyl.
All matte/ satin vinyl wraps do not have a protective film, as their surface is naturally resistant to minor scratches and does not require additional protection.
59ft = full roll
69ft = full roll + 10ft pre-cut
75ft = full roll + 16ft pre-cut
2. Products ordered separately may have slight color variations due to different color lots.
3. Use a bubble remover/defoamer on the surface before applying for best results.
4. CAUTION! The images, colors, and finishes on the screen are approximate. For accuracy, refer to the color book or samples.

Gloss Black Green Forged Carbon Vinyl Wrap
Product Overview
Gloss Black Green Forged Carbon Vinyl Wrap is a combination of the irregular forged-carbon style pattern and a deep black and green color direction. Unlike the repeated diagonal weave of traditional carbon fiber wraps, the surface consists of randomly located pieces of broken carbon fiber with various shapes and sizes.
How Does the Gloss Black Green Finish Look?
The finish is made of deep green forged style pieces and darker black sections. The gloss surface reflects light clearly over the surface, which means that sometimes portions will be brighter than other parts of the sheet which are close to them.
The fragmented pattern becomes more apparent when seen as a whole, on flat surfaces. Reflections move across the pattern and curved sections, causing different fragments to stand out from different viewing angles.
If it is important to match a specific green tone, a physical sample will be a safer choice than screens, cameras and lighting.
Where Does This Forged Carbon Wrap Work Best?
Hood and Roof
Large panels allow the forged pattern to come to life in an area sufficient to achieve the desired visual effect without forcing the patterns to fit into a small space. The green and black fragments look like a decorative texture on a hood or roof rather than on its own.
These areas also enable the gloss reflection to spread over a wider surface, which helps to highlight the pattern.
Trunk, Spoiler, and Exterior Accents
Black Green Forged Carbon on a trunk, spoiler or selected exterior panel will form a more controlled accent. This is great if you are wanting the forged carbon to be seen, but not the main finish for the whole car.
Interior Trim
The pattern gets closer to the viewer when positioned in center consoles, dashboard trim and smooth door-panel inserts. The contrast between black and green, and the irregular shapes of the fragments are more noticeable at shorter viewing distances.
The surface for interior use should be smooth, clean, stable and free of peeling coatings.
Gloss Black Green vs. Matte Black Green Forged Carbon
The gloss version makes more sense when reflection is part of the design. The matte version is better suited to someone who likes the same irregular black-green direction but wants the surface to remain calmer.
| Finish | Overall Appearance | Pattern Visibility | Consider It If You Want |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gloss Black Green Forged Carbon | More reflective with stronger surface highlights | Green fragments receive more emphasis from reflections | A more noticeable and visually active forged-carbon finish |
| Matte Black Green Forged Carbon | Lower-reflection and visually quieter | Fragment pattern remains visible without strong glare | A more restrained black-green forged-carbon look |
Forged Carbon Vinyl vs. Woven Carbon Vinyl
| Forged Carbon Vinyl vs. Woven Carbon Vinyl | ||
|---|---|---|
| Feature | Forged Carbon Vinyl | Woven Carbon Vinyl |
| Pattern | Irregular fragmented shapes | Repeating woven lines |
| Overall Look | More random and graphic | More structured and traditional |
| Surface Movement | Pattern changes visually across the panel | Direction remains easier to follow |
| Best Fit | Drivers wanting a less conventional carbon appearance | Drivers wanting a familiar carbon-fiber weave |
Forged carbon fits drivers seeking a less common carbon finish, while woven carbon fits drivers who prefer a familiar carbon-fiber weave.
Unlike structural carbon fiber, neither of these vinyl types is actually structural carbon fiber. This decision is principally whether the chosen visual pattern seems to better meet the needs of the project.
Pattern Planning and Stretch Control
The irregular pattern makes layout important when several adjoining panels are being wrapped.
Before cutting large sections, check how the black and green fragments will sit across neighboring panels. Strong or uneven stretching can change the apparent size and shape of the printed fragments, particularly around mirrors, bumpers, deep recesses, and compound curves.
On this finish, distortion can be easier to notice because stretching changes both the forged pattern and the balance between darker and greener areas.
Air-release channels can help reduce trapped air during installation, but careful surface preparation, heat control, alignment, and stretch management are still required.

Who Is This Wrap Best For?
Gloss Black Green Forged Carbon is best suited to someone who wants the irregular appearance of forged carbon rather than a traditional woven carbon pattern.
It also makes more sense if you want green to remain part of a fragmented black-and-green design instead of covering the panel as a solid body color. The gloss finish adds more reflection, so the pattern has a stronger visual presence than the corresponding matte version.
It may not be the right choice if you want a uniform emerald-green wrap, a classic woven-carbon appearance, a low-reflection surface, or PPF-level stone-chip protection.
Final Verdict
The most compelling reason to use Gloss Black Green Forged Carbon is in the irregular forged pattern and the definite green colour direction.
It is not solid green wrap or the traditional woven carbon, but the surface uses an irregular combination of black and green fragments rather than a uniform solid color or repeating woven pattern. The reflection from the gloss layer gives enough “activity” to the broken-up design without altering its essence.
Structure
Our wrap films consist of 4 layers designed to ensure exceptional performance:
The first layer serves as a protective barrier for the underlying vinyl.
Directly beneath, you'll find high-grade polymeric vinyl fortified with pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive.
Finally, a layer of 130um release plastic liner adds an extra level of quality to our wrap films. This plastic liner ensures a smoother, super glossy, and lustrous finish.
