Gloss Grey Cast Iron vs Gloss Zinc Metallic

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Gloss Grey Cast Iron (#4E5151) reads darker than Gloss Zinc Metallic (#5A5B52), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Gloss Zinc Metallic lifts them.

Gloss Grey Cast Iron vs Gloss Zinc Metallic: the differences.

The first difference between Gloss Grey Cast Iron and Gloss Zinc Metallic is depth: Gloss Grey Cast Iron 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.
