Matte Blue Metallic vs Matte Gray Aluminum

Covering comparison · updated août 2026

Matte Blue Metallic (#1B3392) reads darker than Matte Gray Aluminum (#6B6C6E), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Matte Gray Aluminum 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.

Matte Blue Metallic vs Matte Gray Aluminum: the differences.

The first difference between Matte Blue Metallic and Matte Gray Aluminum is depth: Matte Blue Metallic reads darker, so it hides body lines that Matte Gray Aluminum 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.
