How to change the appearance of your vehicle without respraying it?

Painting is not the only means of changing the look of your car and if you have decided to change the appearance of your paintwork at a lower cost, the best solution is to opt for a self-adhesive film application! HEXIS offers you a wide range of self-adhesive solutions specially designed for Full Wraps, allowing you to change the appearance of your car.

What you need to remember when choosing a self-adhesive film to change the look of your car

To achieve a perfect Full Wrap requires the use of a self-adhesive film capable of withstanding heavy deformations. Indeed, some areas of a vehicle are concave (mirrors etc.) or difficult to reach (rivets etc.).

In order to deliver a high level of ease of application and durability, the chosen self-adhesive film must offer a number of benefits and technical characteristics.

For several years, HEXIS has been involved in developing product ranges for full wrap applications (SKINTAC), with surface effects and gloss, matt and satin finishes.

To this end, HEXIS offers three ranges of self-adhesive film:

  • The HX20000 range
  • The HX30000 cast films
  • SKINTAC HX45000

What are the characteristics of our ranges of self-adhesive films for full wraps?

The SKINTAC HX20000 range

Specially designed for full wraps, the SKINTAC HX20000 range is made up of a multi-layered cast PVC. Its thickness is over 100 microns and it comes with a HEX’PRESS liner (easier installation and simpler air evacuation). Its thickness allows it to withstand heavy deformations as well as the conservation of its colour. SKINTAC HX20000 is divided into 2 ranges, consisting of gloss, satin and matt colours. Thus, a multitude of possibilities are open to you as for the choice of the self-adhesive film for your full wrap.

For an easier installation, we recommend the use of MagicSpray. This spray is a product that facilitates the installation of vinyl film without scratches. It contains 50cl.

The SKINTAC HX30000 range

This is a range, presenting surface effects (carbon, iridescent, chrome…) conceived for the customisation and the decoration of vehicles. The SKINTAC HX30000 self-adhesive film is a multi-layered cast PVC with a HEX’PRESS liner, in other words it is a film that is easy to apply. This range is available in gloss, matt or satin finish.

Three colour ranges are available for these products, one of which consists entirely of chrome colours. As a result, an almost infinite number of designs can be created by using our self-adhesive films.

The SKINTAC HX450000 range

With this range, HEXIS makes a commitment to you that is unique on the market. A guarantee against yellowing and crackling is included:

  • 5 years in vertical exposure / 2 years in horizontal exposure on any land vehicle
  • 3 yearsin horizontal exposureon boats

This range is totally conformable, which is why it can be used to wrap any type of surface (indoor or outdoor). The excellent performances of this self-adhesive film, as well as its conformability, allow it to be used on curved or textured surfaces. The slip properties of this self-adhesive film are such that it will bring you greater ease of use and save you time during application.
