The paint is then flatter and reflects more light directly (instead of letting the light become scattered in the microscopic imperfections), which gives a sharper, more reflective surface.

No need to eat crow, and I am glad that you had greater success with the foam finishing. The goal of this board should always be to help eachother

Also, this thread is completely worthless with out pics
That totally makes sense, and certainly agrees with the results I saw today. Thanks again, man, my customer was very, very happy with how his truck looks.

I really wish I would have taken pictures of it, but I spent so much additional time on the correction and polishing, I didn't have time to take pics before he had to pick up his truck.
