3M 1080 black matte vinyl wrap

I'm looking to purchase the 3M 1080 vinyl wrap. I was researching them on the net, but it seem like everyone damn near is selling it on the net.

If anyone knows a place, or a site in which I can purchase a whole roll from I would appreciate the help. Thxs in advance.

We looked at the 1080 after it came out and decided we did not like it as much as we liked the Hexis material we have been carrying. The 3M material is thinner and easier to tear along the pattern.

The longest roll we have on the site is 22 yards, 792 inches. Generally enough to wrap an entire vehicle with if you are ambitious and so inclined.

Buying the wrap "pre-cut" is generally a bad idea. The material is designed to be stretched into place to smooth out over a complex curved surface. Extra material to hold / pull on will make the install a lot easier / cleaner in the end.

Like I said, we tried 3M's 1080 after it was released and did not think it was a better material than what we had.

There are a lot of wrap options out there, so choose the one that best fits your needs and desires.
