For a clean, factory-white look, start with Gloss White or Ultra Gloss White. Both have a PET liner for a smooth finish, and Ultra Gloss adds a perfect, orange-peel-free surface and a self-healing top coat. Satin White and Matte White cut the reflections for a softer look that shows off body lines without the mirror effect of gloss.
Not every white is pure white. Ultra Gloss Ivory, Ultra Gloss Bone White, Gloss Cream and Matte Cream are warmer off-whites, closer to the creams on vintage cars. Pearl and paint-metallic whites, including Gloss Pearl White, Gloss Paint Metallic Pearl White, Snow White and Shell White, add a fine shimmer in direct light, much like the pearl white paint on many new cars.
For more effect, Gloss, Satin and Ultra Gloss Iridescent White add a multicolored sheen, Ultra Gloss White Prismatic Chrome and Ultra Satin White Prismatic Chrome give a rainbow reflection, and diamond whites such as Satin Diamond White and Gloss Diamond Sparkle White add sparkle. White shift films, among them Gloss White Blue Shift, Gloss White Gold Shift and Gloss White Lavender Shift, look white in the shade and show their second color as the light changes.
Aura’s gallery has white builds on real cars: Satin White on a Mercedes G-Wagon, Gloss Paint Metallic White on a Porsche Cayenne, Satin Diamond White on a BMW M3, Gloss Pearl White on a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, Gloss Iridescent White on a BMW X7 and Gloss Diamond White Purple Shift on a Toyota Tacoma, plus Hyper Matte Diamond White PPF and Hyper Gloss Paint Metallic Snow White PPF on Tesla Cybertrucks.
White makes the edges of a wrap easier to see. On a dark car, door jambs, panel gaps and trimmed edges will contrast with the film, so decide how far into the jambs you’ll wrap before you order, and add length if you plan to do them.
Aura’s vinyl comes in 5-foot-wide rolls in 58 ft, 68 ft and 78 ft lengths, and white Hyper PPF in 5 ft × 56 ft rolls with 66 ft, 76 ft and 84 ft options. Whites look surprisingly different from one another side by side, so a swatch book is worth ordering first.
