Gloss Cardinal Red vs Gloss Rose-hip

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Gloss Cardinal Red (#C00019) reads darker than Gloss Rose-hip (#CA2A2D), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Gloss Rose-hip 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 Cardinal Red vs Gloss Rose-hip: the differences.

The first difference between Gloss Cardinal Red and Gloss Rose-hip is depth: Gloss Cardinal Red reads darker, so it hides body lines that Gloss Rose-hip 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.
