Matte Black vs Super Matte Black

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Matte Black (#1C1C1C) reads darker than Super Matte Black (#323233), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Super Matte Black lifts them. Both films carry a matte 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.

Matte Black vs Super Matte Black: the differences.

The first difference between Matte Black and Super Matte Black is depth: Matte Black reads darker, so it hides body lines that Super Matte Black shows. The second is not the finish: both are matte 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

Matte Black is a wrap in the Specced catalogue, swatched at #1C1C1C. It renders with a matte finish — the sheen belongs to the film itself, so there is no separate finish to pick. Body shape, paint condition and the light you photograph in all change how it lands, so the only honest preview of Matte Black is one made from a photo of your own car.
