Gloss back shows ALL the imperfections, you'd be crazy to paint an offroad truck gloss back unless its for the 20 ft bling bling, or you plan to respray after every trip. We also laid it on nice and thick so it should hold up well with a beating, and able to buff it down should i need to. (i think we did like 6 coats of base + 2 of mixed clearcoat)
