Gloss Dark Grey vs Gloss Steel

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Gloss Dark Grey (#454748) reads darker than Gloss Steel (#525B5D), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Gloss Steel 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 Dark Grey vs Gloss Steel: the differences.

The first difference between Gloss Dark Grey and Gloss Steel is depth: Gloss Dark Grey reads darker, so it hides body lines that Gloss Steel 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.
