Gloss Silver Grey vs Gloss Zinc Metallic

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Gloss Zinc Metallic (#5A5B52) reads darker than Gloss Silver Grey (#7D8184), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Gloss Silver Grey 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 Silver Grey vs Gloss Zinc Metallic: the differences.

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

Side by side

Gloss Silver Grey is a wrap in the Specced catalogue, swatched at #7D8184. It renders with a metallic finish — the sheen belongs to the film itself, so there is no separate finish to pick.
