Stop in for a cup of coffee

@Unconventional ,

Anyway, yesterday I was in Ukiah to pick up my dark turquoise paint for the dash, seems very flat, no glossy at all. So, I wonder if I am just going to keep it that way, and not add anything talcum powder to it or so.

Has anyone ever tried to spray glossy clear coat over a flat one stage paint to make it glossy ? Is that even possible ?

I don't see any reason you couldn't do that with clear. I would let it dry and scuff it upp with like 220 sandbaper.

Or, what I did with mine. I sprayed the whole thing with flat. Actually what you want on the area under the windshield so it doesn't reflect on the glass. Then I 'buffed' everything below the pad with a white, scotchbrite type finishing pad to get a low gloss
