Quality Warranty
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.

Quick Product Summary
RAXTiFY Color Shift Glitter Starry Black Red Vinyl Wrap is a deep black base color with shifting ruby red and subtle purple highlights and fine glitter that is more apparent in direct light. During the day, red hues are prominent on the curved body panels, and at night, the finish is significantly darker, with more black. It is designed for drivers who want a dark color-shift finish with a distinctive star-like sparkle.
What Does Color Shift Glitter Starry Black Red Vinyl Wrap Look Like?
This wrap looks different in the day and night. It is a deep black base colour that is always present, but the red, purple and glitter effects are more or less pronounced depending on the amount of light that reaches the surface and the angle at which the vehicle is viewed.
In Daylight
The wrap shows off much more ruby-red and wine-red reflections when under direct sunlight, particularly on doors, fenders, quarter panels and other curved surfaces. The glitter is also more noticeable, giving a slight sparkle over the darker black background.

At some angles the car is still almost black, and other parts that are in direct sunlight have a much brighter red shift. This contrast is what makes the finish have a multi-tone look.
At Night and in Low Light
The wrap is much darker and blacker in the shade or at night. Red and purple hues are not eliminated but are focused around highlights and areas that are directly lit by artificial light.

Curved panels can show deep burgundy, ruby red or subtle purple reflections under streetlights or parking-lot lighting against the dark body. This makes the car look more subdued than it does during the day.
Why Choose This Starry Black Red Color Shift Wrap?
This finish is a great option for those who wish to have the darkness of a black wrap but not a solid black. The black base helps to keep the car fairly subdued in low light, but in the sun, the red colour change and glitter effect are much more pronounced.
Starry Black Red is not a traditional red or black wrap, but rather a wrap that shifts throughout the day. This deep black, ruby red, subtle purple and fine glitter finish adds more depth to the finish without being as bright and reflective as chrome.
The film is constructed from polymeric calendered automotive vinyl, pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive and built-in air-release channels. The finish is directional and the film should be installed in the same direction on adjacent panels to ensure an even colour-shift effect.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Starry Black Red look more black or red?
This depends on the lighting. The wrap is deep black in shade, at night or in low light. Under direct sunlight or strong directional light, ruby-red and dark wine-red tones become much more visible.
What colors does Starry Black Red shift to?
The main shift is from deep black to ruby red; there are hints of burgundy and purple from certain angles and in different lighting.
When is the glitter most visible?
The glitter is best observed in direct sunlight or bright artificial light. It becomes more noticeable across curved panels where light reflects from different angles.
Is this vinyl wrap directional?
Yes. The film should be installed in a consistent direction across adjacent panels to maintain uniform color and reflection.
Is Starry Black Red harder to install than standard gloss vinyl?
It can be a little more challenging as colour shift and glitter finishes are directional and can be harder than regular gloss vinyl. An intermediate level of installation experience is recommended, and professional installation is recommended for full wraps, bumpers, deep recesses and complex curves.
How long does this vinyl wrap last?
Expected outdoor service life is approximately 2 years under normal use. Indoor or sheltered use may extend service life to up to 3 years, depending on climate, UV exposure, installation quality, parking conditions, and maintenance.
Can I remove the wrap later?
Yes. The film is designed to be removed within the recommended service life, when applied to healthy factory OEM paint and removed properly. Damage to the paint, weak clear coat, or improper removal may increase the risk of paint damage, repainted panels.
Can I order a sample before buying a full roll?
Yes. If you are interested in the black, red, purple and glitter effects, we suggest ordering a sample to see how they perform in your lighting environment before buying a full roll.

Conclusion
RAXTiFY Color Shift Glitter Starry Black Red Vinyl Wrap is ideal for those who are looking for a dark vinyl wrap that shifts color when the environment changes. The vehicle is a deep black with subtle red-purple highlights during the night, and ruby-red reflections and glitter during the day.
The black, red, purple and star-like sparkle gives it a more dynamic feel than a traditional solid wrap, yet it still has a dark feel. To get the best idea of the finish, test the wrap in direct sunlight and in low-light situations before opting for a full vehicle wrap.
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.

RAXTiFY vinyl wrap is designed to last 2–3 years with proper installation and regular care.
Actual lifespan may vary depending on the film series, finish, climate, UV exposure, parking conditions, washing habits, and overall vehicle surface condition. Vehicles parked indoors or in shaded areas may help maintain the wrap’s appearance for longer.
For best results, hand wash the wrapped vehicle with clean water, pH-neutral soap, and a soft microfiber mitt or sponge. Dry the surface with a clean microfiber towel after washing.
Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, automatic car washes, polishing compounds, fuel spills, and high-pressure washing directly on film edges. Long-term exposure to intense sunlight, heat, rain, snow, dust, and pollution may affect the finish over time.

Our vinyl wrap is designed to be removable without damaging factory OEM paint that is in good condition. For the safest result, we recommend professional removal, especially for full vehicle wraps, older installations, or vehicles with unknown paint history.
Please note that paint condition matters. Repainted surfaces, peeling clear coat, rust, dents, scratches, weak paint, or improper removal may increase the risk of paint damage.
