Matte Magnetic Black vs Matte Russet Red

Q: What finishes do Matte Magnetic Black and Matte Russet Red come in?

Both are metallic films — the sheen belongs to the film itself, so there is no separate finish to choose.

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Matte Magnetic Black (#1B202E) reads darker than Matte Russet Red (#8C3F25), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Matte Russet Red 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 Magnetic Black vs Matte Russet Red: the differences.

The first difference between Matte Magnetic Black and Matte Russet Red is depth: Matte Magnetic Black reads darker, so it hides body lines that Matte Russet Red 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.
