Brushed Steel vs Gloss Dragon Fire Red

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Brushed Steel (#585860) and Gloss Dragon Fire Red (#B30E11) sit at almost the same lightness, so the difference between them is hue and finish rather than how dark they read. Brushed Steel comes in metallic; Gloss Dragon Fire Red in gloss. 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.

Brushed Steel vs Gloss Dragon Fire Red: the differences.

The differences between Brushed Steel and Gloss Dragon Fire Red are hue and finish rather than depth — the two sit at almost the same lightness.

Render both on your car and compare them there.
