Gloss Mystery Black vs Gloss Vampire Black

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Gloss Mystery Black (#252628) and Gloss Vampire Black (#301E1D) sit at almost the same lightness, so the difference between them is hue and finish rather than how dark they read. 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 Mystery Black vs Gloss Vampire Black: the differences.

The differences between Gloss Mystery Black and Gloss Vampire Black are hue and finish rather than depth — the two sit at almost the same lightness. 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 Mystery Black is a wrap in the Specced catalogue, swatched at #252628. 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 Mystery Black is one made from a photo of your own car.
