OMG Yes. I was just thinking of this a few nights ago. Asked myself "Why doesn't plasti-dip offer a gloss formula?" The car gods answered my prayers.

So you would spray the gloss on top of the regular once it is applied?

Do you peel off the excess layer of the enhancer like you do with the plastidip?

I plan to use the glossifier over the standard black plastidip for the chrome trim on the grill and the rear emblems. It should look better than the standard matte black finish. I just have to wait until it gets a bit warmer. Nice find!

Thanks! Sweet, I've been wishing my plastidipped emblems were glossy, I'll try this out when I get some. Metalizers look interesting too.
