Again I will have to say that the above finish is not gloss. It has quite a bit of the opaque additive that I use in it. The final sanding and buffing brings down the shine quite a bit more. The result is very reflective and smooth - "glossy".

I mix my own finishes and many of the colors. After all, what color is the base of a Zenith 5-S-127? You can't buy it in a can, that I know of.

So as I see it, the only major difference is that I have to wait longer between coats, or choose to. Then again, I don't have to finish 50,000 of them.
