[Chevynutz]

Looking for Black color suggestions for bottom of my hood. Does black epoxy stay glossy after it flashes , anybody have pictures if they did ?

Are those metal or plastic fender liners? If plastic did you epoxy those too?

Metal. In the picture they look more glossy than in person. The core support is a good reference for how it looks.

How does one control the gloss?

I made no attempt to control the gloss. the "60% gloss" is just my estimate of what it is. It looks very similar to some parts I had powder coated at that gloss level.
If gloss can be varied, that would be an @Barry question.
I mixed 1:1 with activator, induced it overnight (since it is a top coat,) reduced 10% so it would shoot a little easier, heated it up to 90F and laid it down.

Adding reducer reduces the gloss afaik.
