Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Odd Paint Question

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.

You know it makes sense.....

Having successfully tapped into the hive-mind on behalf of my trailer (must admit to being so pleased to see it black and glossy after putting up with it looking patchy, faded and matt ... certainly looks better presented now to a passing Traffic car ... always been well maintained and roadworthy but looked iffy before)

Thought I'd try my luck for products that might perk up the plastic trim round my equally well maintained but hard-worked looking tow-van (got it's new MOT on Monday! 🙂) ... nothing I've tried has lasted ... think it was originally battleship grey rather than black.

Any thoughts gratefully recieved.

Thanks
