semi gloss?
semi gloss? I am learning how to paint and was curious as to how you get semi gloss, I know how to do full gloss and flat black, just not sure on the semi gloss. Anyone have any advice?

ppg sells a flattener that you can mix in with your paint. Ive only used it with single stage paint, but I think they sell it for clear coat also. All you do is mix it in proportoins. The more flattener the flatter it will me, obviously the less amount the more glossy. You may have to play with it to get the right gloss you want. Oh yeah if you are spraying a whole car, make sure you mix up enought to spray the whole car at once. It is very hard to match if you dont.
