Satin Black vs Satin Dark Basalt

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Satin Dark Basalt (#171614) reads darker than Satin Black (#353535), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Satin Black lifts them. Both films carry a satin 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.

Satin Black vs Satin Dark Basalt: the differences.

The first difference between Satin Black and Satin Dark Basalt is depth: Satin Dark Basalt reads darker, so it hides body lines that Satin Black shows. The second is not the finish: both are satin 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

Satin Black is a wrap in the Specced catalogue, swatched at #353535. It renders with a satin finish — the sheen belongs to the film itself, so there is no separate finish to pick. Body shape, paint condition and the light you photograph in all change how it lands, so the only honest preview of Satin Black is one made from a photo of your own car.
