# New TPU Color Change Film: Dark Burgundy Edition

Dark burgundy suits dark bases best, so black, grey and blue cars carry the tone cleanly, while white shows its brown undertone more strongly. SUVs, coupés and estates suit it better than small hatchbacks, since large flat panels let the colour shift read from a distance.

# Introduction

Each year, Apple’s new iPhone colors inspire trends in the automotive wrap market. This year’s dark burgundy shade has attracted considerable attention with its soft matte finish and muted, purple-toned hue.

At Shimao New Materials, we have developed a **self-healing TPU color-change film in a matching shade** to meet market demand, bringing the refined matte aesthetic of a premium smartphone to automotive paint protection.

### Key Product Benefits

- **Faithful Color Matching**
Meticulously crafted to replicate the iPhone’s dark burgundy, this film features a soft matte finish without harsh reflections. Indoors, it takes on a deep purple-brown tone; in sunlight, subtle burgundy hues emerge across the bodywork. Understated yet luxurious, it offers a distinctive alternative to conventional gloss burgundy wraps.

- **TPU Material: Color Transformation and Paint Protection in One**
Unlike conventional PET color-change films that primarily serve a decorative purpose, this TPU film features heat-activated self-healing technology. Fine scratches and light swirl marks from routine washing can repair themselves when exposed to heat. It also helps shield the original paint from bird droppings, UV rays, and acid rain.

- **Excellent Weather Resistance**
An optimized UV-resistant formulation provides enhanced resistance to yellowing during prolonged outdoor exposure. The highly flexible material conforms smoothly around edges and curves, helping reduce edge lifting and after-sales issues for installers.

### Conclusion

Bringing digital design aesthetics to automotive customization, this burgundy TPU color-change film gives car owners a fresh way to express their style. Its rich, refined matte finish adds a distinctive character to any vehicle—without relying on loud or extravagant colors.

## What car colours does dark burgundy suit?
It reads best on dark bases, so black, grey and blue cars carry the tone cleanly, while white cars show the brown undertone more strongly. SUVs, coupés and estates suit it better than small hatchbacks, because large flat panels let the colour shift read from a distance.

## Is burgundy TPU a gloss or satin finish?
Both exist. Gloss at 6–8 mil reads closest to the smartphone anodised look and shows the colour shift most strongly; satin softens the highlight and looks deeper in shade. Matte versions flatten the effect and are usually chosen for a more understated build.

## How long does a burgundy TPU wrap last?
5–7 years on vertical panels and 4–5 years on a sun-facing roof at 6–8 mil, with self-healing that closes wash marks above 40 °C. Wash with pH-neutral shampoo every two weeks; avoid wax and brush washes, which dull the colour shift permanently.
