Gloss Ebony Sparkle Black vs Matte Ebony Sparkle Black

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Gloss Ebony Sparkle Black (#27282B) reads darker than Matte Ebony Sparkle Black (#403F43), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Matte Ebony Sparkle Black 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.

Gloss Ebony Sparkle Black vs Matte Ebony Sparkle Black: the differences.

The first difference between Gloss Ebony Sparkle Black and Matte Ebony Sparkle Black is depth: Gloss Ebony Sparkle Black reads darker, so it hides body lines that Matte Ebony Sparkle Black 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.
