Gloss Aluminium vs Matte Silver Grey

Q: What finishes do Gloss Aluminium and Matte Silver Grey come in?

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

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Gloss Aluminium (#5F5F60) reads darker than Matte Silver Grey (#8B8E91), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Matte Silver Grey lifts them. Both films carry a metallic 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 Aluminium vs Matte Silver Grey: the differences.

The first difference between Gloss Aluminium and Matte Silver Grey is depth: Gloss Aluminium reads darker, so it hides body lines that Matte Silver Grey shows. The second is not the finish: both are metallic 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.
