Whether you're doing full or partial wraps, this cast wrap film features a repositionable adhesive that forgives mistakes, invisible air channels that eliminate bubbles, and conformability that handles the curves and recesses most films fight against. Available in 14 colors across gloss, satin, and matte. Sold by the yard to order only what you need. Stocked at all 10 Grimco hubs nationwide for quick delivery.

What is ColorCAST Wrap Film?

ColorCAST is a premium color change film designed with the installer in mind. This is the one you will reach for when a customer wants the look of a paint job without the hassle or cost of one.

It's built with an engineered liner featuring invisible air channels for bubble-free application every time. The repositionable adhesive lets you easily adjust positioning before committing, and when it's time to remove, ColorCAST pulls cleanly without leaving adhesive behind on factory or damaging OEM paint.

How ColorCAST Performs as a Color Change Wrap Film

Conformability and Deep Recess Performance

ColorCAST is stretchable and conformable around curves, rivets, deep channels, bumpers, mirrors, and complex body contours without lifting or distorting over time. It's guaranteed to stay down in demanding shapes and won't "pop up" a few hours after install. Its excellent heat recovery means you don't have to worry about losing the integrity of the color or finish of ColorCAST post install.

Adhesive Design and Self-Healing Properties

The repositionable adhesive behaves similarly to the original Briteline WrapCAST, easy to anchor across larger surfaces without worrying about having to readjust the vinyl if it wasn't initially laid down correctly. Also, ColorCAST self-heals; any application lines left in the film will smooth out over time with sun exposure.

The lay-flat liner with invisible air channels produces an ultra-smooth surface finish with minimal air egress patterns — especially important on gloss finishes where imperfections are more visible.

Pro Tip: apply heat during installation and allow a 24-hour dwell time for the film to fully cure.

That same adhesive technology that makes ColorCAST forgiving during installation also pays off at removal. It's designed for clean, residue-free takedown that won't damage the surface underneath, keeping turnaround fast and labor light between jobs.

Effortless Liner Release

The liner releases with minimal effort and low static buildup. On large flat panels like cargo vans or buses, that matters — less static means less dust and debris collecting on your work surface during install.

ColorCAST Vinyl Wrap Finishes and Color Options

ColorCAST launches with 14 colors across three finish types:

Gloss

Gloss delivers an ultra-shine, paint-like finish. Gloss colors come with a PET protective cap sheet that must be removed on a flat surface before installation — not on the vehicle. Peeling it on the car causes static buildup that attracts dust to the adhesive. The cap sheet is what keeps the finish smooth and free of orange peel; this is the difference between ColorCAST and other types of color change vinyl in the market.

Gloss options include:

Satin

Satin has a soft, velvety finish with a slight sheen, a popular pick for customers who want that sweetwet spot between gloss or matte.

Satin options include:

Satin White

Satin Black

Satin Urban Slate Metallic

Matte

Matte is a true non-reflective finish. With one of the best matte finishes in the industry, it will have your customers looking twice.

Pro Tip: It's worth having an upfront maintenance conversation with customers as matte finishes are more sensitive to waxes and cleaning products. It is recommended to use a ceramic coating that is specially formulated for matte finishes. Setting expectations from the beginning goes a long way.

Matte options include:

Matte Black

Matte Azul Steel Metallic

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Briteline ColorCAST is rated for up to 10 years depending on the finish, color, and where you're located. Vertical surfaces like doors and quarter panels tend to hold up longer than horizontal ones like hoods and roofs, because they see more direct UV exposure. Proper installation and basic maintenance go a long way in getting the most out of the wrap. For further details, please refer the warranty document.

A color change wrap can be removed without damaging the paint when installed and removed correctly. ColorCAST is designed for clean removal, even after years of being installed. The adhesive comes off without leaving significant residue on factory or properly cured OEM paint. Using heat during removal makes the removal process easier and reduces the risk of the vinyl tearing off into pieces.

The finish of a color change wrap does affect how you maintain it, especially with matte. Satin and matte finishes are sensitive to waxes, polishes, and certain cleaning products that can alter the appearance over time. It is recommended to use a ceramic coating that is specially formulated for these finishes. This will create a hardened, hydrophobic shield and prevents permanent staining from outside elements. Gloss is more forgiving but still benefit from regular hand washing and avoiding harsh chemicals. Setting expectations with the customer at pickup saves a lot of headaches later.

You can wrap just part of a car. ColorCAST is made for both full and partial wrap jobs. A lot of customers opt for a roof, hood, or mirror caps in a contrasting color. The cast construction means it handles the curved surfaces common on those accent areas without issue. The roll comes in at 60 inches wide and can be purchased either by the yard or full 25yd rolls. Both options give you the freedom to do small accent pieces or run large full wrap jobs.

ColorCAST is not designed as a printable media, but it can be printed on with vinyl ink for interior applications. Satin and matte finishes are the way to go for this since gloss is not recommended due to the cap sheet on the surface. Testing on your specific substrate before committing to a full project is always a good idea. Grimco does not warranty ColorCAST for printed applications, so any use outside of standard installs with proper technique is at the discretion of the installer. Learn more about printing on ColorCAST.

Heat is one of the most important tools in a color change wrap install. It makes the film more flexible and helps it conform to curves, channels, and contoured surfaces more naturally. It also helps activate the adhesive for better contact with the surface. After installation, giving the film at least 24 hours to dwell allows the adhesive to fully build and bond. Post-heating followed by that dwell time is a good habit regardless of what surface you are applying to.

Proper vehicle prep before a color change wrap install starts with a basic wash before the vehicle even comes into the shop, followed by a thorough detail clean once it arrives. Remove or tape off hardware like mirrors, door handles, badges, and emblems so you can get clean edges and avoid overstretching the film. Install conditions matter too, so aim for a temperature between 50 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity under 85 percent. For ColorCAST gloss colors, the protective cap sheet needs to come off on a flat table before the film gets anywhere near the vehicle.

Installing a color change wrap requires a few key tools to get the job done right. The core tools you need are a heat gun, squeegees, a safety knife, knifeless tape, and 9mm snap off blades. An IR thermometer, lint free gloves, masking tape, and magnets are also worth having on hand to keep the install running smoothly and avoid any surface damage during application.
