compared to gloss enamels are very much 2nd rate IMHO.........so is it me?........this is for brush painting............I like spraying Tamiya TS rattle cans and use their matt acrylics for brush painting but have just used their Acrylic Gloss Black # 81501 in the Mini jar on the AMT Double Dragster Fiat frame and not happy....lol..........stirred the paint before use and it just seemed to be very weak, poor coverage and lacking any real shine...........oh well I'll live with it ...........lol.............andyd
