Gloss Sandstorm vs Gloss Shadow Blue

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Gloss Shadow Blue (#0A172D) reads darker than Gloss Sandstorm (#CAA579), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Gloss Sandstorm 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 Sandstorm vs Gloss Shadow Blue: the differences.

The first difference between Gloss Sandstorm and Gloss Shadow Blue is depth: Gloss Shadow Blue reads darker, so it hides body lines that Gloss Sandstorm 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 Sandstorm is a wrap in the Specced catalogue, swatched at #CAA579. It renders with a gloss 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 Gloss Sandstorm is one made from a photo of your own car.
