Flat + Clear = ?
 

Hey guys, what happens if you put a layer of clearcoat over flat black? Does it become glossy or something? Or does it become more of a semi-gloss sort of thing?

Re: Flat + Clear = ?
 

it would be more of a semi gloss to gloss. but you can get a matte clear coat that keeps it flat.

Great, thanks. I'll have to keep an eye out for that next time I'm at the hardware store.

Yeah, I remember I painted a truck in a semigloss black paint once. Any autobody supply shop or one that can mix paint will be able to mix it up for you depending on if you want flat or semi gloss.
