Brushed Steel vs Super Gloss Cochineal: the differences.

The first difference between Brushed Steel and Super Gloss Cochineal is depth: Brushed Steel reads darker, so it hides body lines that Super Gloss Cochineal shows. The second is the finish: Brushed Steel is offered in metallic, Super Gloss Cochineal in gloss. 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.
