At the risk of being branded a heretic, was curious on opinions of gloss versus satin clearcoats.
On customs and show cars I understand wanting the 3 foot thick gloss clear coat appearance. It may not be fully prototypically correct, but it looks “right.”
The question arises on replica stock, commercial, and (for me) racing vehicles. For some reason, throwing a high gloss clear coat on such vehicles just doesn’t look “right.” Most of the time, clean replica stock, commercial, and race vehicles seem to look more prototypically correct with a satin or high semigloss finish. I understand that this may not win contests over the high gloss painted vehicles.
Just curious to hear the opinions of others.
Thanks!
Mike
