Satin Ara Blue Metallic vs Satin Red Alu

Covering comparison · updated août 2026

Satin Red Alu (#4C0E01) reads darker than Satin Ara Blue Metallic (#1978C9), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Satin Ara Blue 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.

Satin Ara Blue Metallic vs Satin Red Alu: the differences.

The first difference between Satin Ara Blue Metallic and Satin Red Alu is depth: Satin Red Alu reads darker, so it hides body lines that Satin Ara Blue 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.
