From what I've seen, I like the "glossy" finish better looks more like a powder coat - less like spraycan. I would think that would take time too - smooth gloss with no runs/sags/drips is not easy

Is that for the Duplicolor kit? If so, that is a good kit. I used it on my calipers and really like the results.

Ive been kickin around the idea. i wonder if silver would look good on a silver truck...I would imagine prep would be a pain though with all those dust particles everywhere. maybe not i dunno. I should try it.
