What is the difference between gloss photo paper and matte photo paper?

The main difference between matte gloss and clear gloss is the amount of shine that each one has. A matte gloss will give paint a subdued, toned-down look, while a clear gloss will be shinier and more polished.


Can you paint gloss over matte?

Always prime first and make sure to key (sand) all surfaces, whether you are priming or not that is VERY important.The rule is: You cannot use water base paints over oil base paint. You may if you prime first. If your matte and your gloss are both water based, you may use the matte. When in doubt, please prime first.AnswerBeing in the painting business for nearly 10 years, the key factor to painting waterbase paint (in any sheen) over oil base paint is to sand, sand, and sand again. A regular primer will not add any adhesion to the surface - you need a high adhesion primer that is either oil or shellac base first, or a waterbase that is made specifically to grip to oil. Of course, I would skip this step entirely simply by sanding thoroughly - and using a waterbase topcoat that is good quality. Ideally you should use a paint that is made to stick to oil, such as General Paint's HP2000 or Dulux Diamond. But priming with a regular waterbase primer will not help to solve this problem and will be a waste of your time and money.

Is mat black paint easyer to spray a car with?

All paint in aerosol cans spray the same. However, matte paint on a car will look like, well, you know. If you are going to use spray cans to paint your car you really should use a gloss enamel. It's only a few cents more per can but the results will be 100 times better than using matte paint. I wrote a detailed answer to "How do you paint a car with spray cans" Try doing a search for it here. If you are unable to locate it, contact me through my profile and I'd be happy to help.
