Gloss Charcoal Grey vs Gloss China Blue

Q: What finishes do Gloss Charcoal Grey and Gloss China Blue come in?

Both are gloss films — the sheen belongs to the film itself, so there is no separate finish to choose.

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Gloss Charcoal Grey (#252730) reads darker than Gloss China Blue (#385A7C), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Gloss China Blue lifts them. Both films carry a gloss finish, so the choice is purely the colour. Body shape, paint condition and the light you shoot in move both colours further than a swatch chip suggests. Seeing them on your own car settles it, free, in a couple of minutes.

Gloss Charcoal Grey vs Gloss China Blue: the differences.

The first difference between Gloss Charcoal Grey and Gloss China Blue is depth: Gloss Charcoal Grey reads darker, so it hides body lines that Gloss China Blue shows. The second is not the finish: both are gloss films, so the sheen is a separate decision from the colour. Low light, curved panels and your own trim decide the rest, and none of that shows up on a swatch. Render both on your car and compare them there.
