Gloss Graphite Metallic vs Gloss Zinc Metallic

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Gloss Graphite Metallic (#45484B) reads darker than Gloss Zinc Metallic (#5A5B52), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Gloss Zinc Metallic 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 Graphite Metallic vs Gloss Zinc Metallic: the differences.

The first difference between Gloss Graphite Metallic and Gloss Zinc Metallic is depth: Gloss Graphite Metallic reads darker, so it hides body lines that Gloss Zinc Metallic 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.
