Gloss Grey vs Gloss Obsidian Black

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Gloss Obsidian Black (#000000) reads darker than Gloss Grey (#9C9B98), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Gloss Grey 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 Grey vs Gloss Obsidian Black: the differences.

The first difference between Gloss Grey and Gloss Obsidian Black is depth: Gloss Obsidian Black reads darker, so it hides body lines that Gloss Grey 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.

Side by side

Gloss Grey is a wrap in the Specced catalogue, swatched at #9C9B98. It renders with a gloss finish — the sheen belongs to the film itself, so there is no separate finish to pick.
