Gloss Dove Blue Metallic vs Matte Violet Metallic: the differences.

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