Gloss Amethyst vs Matte Sunset Shift

Q: What finishes do Gloss Amethyst and Matte Sunset Shift come in?

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

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Matte Sunset Shift (#99141C) reads darker than Gloss Amethyst (#956FAE), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Gloss Amethyst lifts them. Both films carry a iridescent 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 Amethyst vs Matte Sunset Shift: the differences.

The first difference between Gloss Amethyst and Matte Sunset Shift is depth: Matte Sunset Shift reads darker, so it hides body lines that Gloss Amethyst shows. The second is not the finish: both are iridescent 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.
