Some dark blues disappear into navy. TeckWrap Imperial Blue keeps a blue-violet edge visible through its restrained matte-chrome finish.

Key Attributes

• Polymeric Hybrid Film: The 0.15 mm film creates a consistent surface across doors, hoods, and other broad panels.
• Air-Release Channels: Trapped air has a clear exit path during installation on smooth and medium-curved surfaces.
• Directional Matte-Chrome Finish: Matching panel orientation keeps the soft metallic reflection moving cleanly around the vehicle.
• Controlled Stretch: The film conforms around mirrors and moderate contours when installed without excessive heat or tension.

Imperial Blue starts with a dark indigo base rather than a bright primary blue. Under direct light, a clearer blue highlight rises from the surface, followed by a slight violet cast along the curve. Shade pulls it back toward a quieter, inkier tone. The matte-chrome finish softens hard reflections, so the color stays readable without looking glossy. It works especially well when you want blue to feel deep, but not blackened or flat.

OEM Match

• Closest to BMW Imperial Blue Metallic: Imperial Blue follows its deep blue character, with a softer matte-chrome expression in place of factory gloss.
• More violet and slightly brighter than Audi Navarra Blue Metallic: Its violet undertone becomes clearer where Navarra Blue stays closer to dark navy.
• Darker and more violet than Porsche Gentian Blue Metallic: Gentian Blue reads cleaner and brighter, while Imperial Blue settles into a deeper indigo range.

This wrap brings those factory-blue references to another vehicle without presenting itself as an exact paint match.

TeckWrap statements, technical information, and recommendations are based on product testing believed to be reliable, but they do not guarantee identical results in every installation environment. The buyer should confirm suitability for the intended vehicle and use.

Screen images may vary from the physical film. Always check a real color swatch before ordering, and use rolls from the same production LOT for full-wrap color consistency.

Film performance depends on storage, surface preparation, installation method, climate, and maintenance. Scratches during installation or daily use, labor, transportation, and consequential damages are not covered by standard product warranty.
