I am having a hard time telling the exact finish from the pics.. Is this paint gloss, semi gloss, fairly flat?

They claim it is a 30% flat Lance.
I wouldn't call it dead flat - not even semi gloss.
More of a semi flat makes a good description.
The pearls & metallics they have are bad ass!

Original colors;

I can't even imagine how you could get a pearl effect without some gloss ? Sounds like some interesting paint, I am a little partial to flat paint anyhow. :P

Got a new HVLP gun last night had needed to spray some more panels... Wow what a difference! I may have to blend the different patterns...

One good note is I had to fix a spot (Run/sagg) and the paint spotted perfect.

Going to spray the Daytona blue pearl this weekend.

Updates?
Having the project is what makes me happy, finishing it isn't something I think about.
