Coating a Colour-Change Wrap: Record the Original Appearance

A colour-change wrap can have complex appearance under different light. Documenting its starting condition helps assess any later concern.

Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge

Practical approach

Photograph representative areas under consistent conditions and approve a compatible trial before treating the full vehicle.

Metallic or textured effects can look different as viewing angle changes, even before coating.

Decision limits

Do not diagnose a colour change from photographs taken at unrelated angles or with different exposure settings.
