Gloss Charcoal Metallic (#2F3237) reads darker than Matte Charcoal Metallic (#3E4146), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Matte Charcoal Metallic 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.

Gloss Charcoal Metallic vs Matte Charcoal Metallic: the differences.

The first difference between Gloss Charcoal Metallic and Matte Charcoal Metallic is depth: Gloss Charcoal Metallic reads darker, so it hides body lines that Matte Charcoal Metallic 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.
