Maybe some member of this august forum who is knowlegeable about paint can give me an answer.

I have a large race-car trailer .. unlike most it is painted black ... over the years the paint has weathered to where it is just about wholly matt.

When it rains the trailer looks great ... black and shiny.

If I were to spray it with a gloss clear coat would it look like it was permenantly wet?

I'd rather do that than try to paint it black again with a colour coat.

Any thoughts gratefully received.
