Carbon Fiber Anthracite vs Gloss Red Metallic

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Gloss Red Metallic (#6D0F12) reads darker than Carbon Fiber Anthracite (#4D4C54), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Carbon Fiber Anthracite 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. Seeing them on your own car settles it, free, in a couple of minutes.

Carbon Fiber Anthracite vs Gloss Red Metallic: the differences.

The first difference between Carbon Fiber Anthracite and Gloss Red Metallic is depth: Gloss Red Metallic reads darker, so it hides body lines that Carbon Fiber Anthracite 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.

Carbon Fiber Anthracite is a wrap in the Specced catalogue, swatched at #4D4C54. It renders with a metallic finish — the sheen belongs to the film itself, so there is no separate finish to pick.
