Potential car design trends in 2025.

The automotive paint and wrapping industry is evolving rapidly, and 2025 is set to introduce some exciting trends in paint spraying techniques. At Onyx Aim, we pride ourselves on staying ahead of the curve, offering cutting edge solutions that enhance the aesthetic and durability of your vehicle. Whether you’re looking for a fresh factory finish or a bold custom design, these upcoming trends will shape the future of automotive painting.

1. Sustainable and eco-friendly paints

Environmental consciousness is at an all-time high, and car manufacturers and specialists are shifting towards low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) and water-based paints. Expect to see more brands offering biodegradable coatings and self-healing finishes, reducing environmental impact while maintaining a high-quality, long-lasting shine.

2. Hyper-personalised colour options

Car owners are increasingly looking for unique finishes that set their vehicles apart. In 2025, colour-shifting paints, pearlescent coatings, and even thermochromic (heat-sensitive) paints will gain popularity. Imagine a car that changes shades depending on the temperature or lighting—this level of personalisation is becoming a reality.

3. Matte and satin finishes

Matte finishes have been in demand for years, but 2025 will see an explosion of satin hybrid coatings—a perfect balance between matte’s stealthy look and glossy durability. These finishes not only provide a sleek appearance but also offer enhanced resistance against scratches and environmental wear.

4. Nanotechnology-infused paint protection

Ceramic coatings have already made waves in paint protection, but 2025 will introduce next-level nanotech coatings that self-clean, prevent dirt, and even repair any small, micro-scratches. These coatings will extend the lifespan of a vehicle’s paint job and enhance its overall resilience.

5. Spray-on wraps (for temporary customisation)

While traditional vinyl wraps are still a go-to for many, spray-on wraps are set to rise in popularity. These innovative coatings allow for temporary colour changes that can be peeled off when needed, offering a flexible, high-quality alternative to traditional wraps.

6. 3D textured and metallic effects

Gone are the days of simple flat colours – 2025 will see the arrival of 3D texture paints, providing embossed designs and metallic effects that add depth and character to a vehicle’s exterior. These options will be perfect for those looking to create a bold statement with their car.

7. AI-assisted paint Matching and application

Artificial intelligence is making its way into the automotive paint industry, optimising colour matching and precision spraying. Smart robots and AI-driven sprayers will reduce paint waste, ensure flawless application, and even predict maintenance needs before damage occurs. This means longer-lasting finishes and lower costs in the long run.
