not to sound like im getting nasty but powder is not a paint ,it is a plastic in powder form its feels like baby powder then it gets put in a 400-500 DEG. oven for 10-15 MIN. then it comes out and has to cool before its as hard as nails,now for the shine theres what they call DEG. of shine the shinnyest is 100 DEG. then it gos down from there to 90,85,75,ECT. & you can get just about any color under the sun in powder.i made this color my self by putting a candy apple red as a base & then putting a flip flop clear over it it changed from orange to green to gold,it had hevy flake in it ,the pic dose it no justice in the sun it looked like a million diamonds twinkling. i had this on my 74 shovel harley & the guy from tiger drylock witch is one of the supplyers wanted to know how i did this.i know how powdere works because i worked at a powder coating company for 3 years. hope this helps
