I am in agreement with The Cat man here, and quite honestly, I have liked and loved builds of all different finishes, and most times am awe inspired by them, as I myself am in the learning process, and still yet more to learn. As such, on one of my current builds I am "Trying to Copy" A Particular finish, however I am using Clear Gloss to achieve it. And as most others here have stated, it all depends upon Preference and personal experience. I think a person should just go with whatever they feel is best for their builds.
