The answer would depend on what you plan to do after the car is deglossed. If you're painting the car, degloss with 400 thru 800 grit wet-or-dry sandpaper applied by hand, generally the palm and edge of the palm. Accompany the sanding with a low volume flow of water from a garden hose. Naturally, the more coarse the grit, the more the hand pressure and the longer a given area is sanded, the more gloss and paint will be removed. There are chemicals such as Liquid Sandpaper, but the results can be unpredictable and the chemicals hazardous to your health. You didn't mention how old the car is, what kind of paint it has, if there's a clearcoat finish and what your objective is, so this is the best answer I can give you. Good Luck.

Can you put high gloss paint over simi gloss?

I'm assuming your talking about house type paint and not something high end like car paint. If so, the answer is yes, but you must de-gloss it first to open pores in the old paint and give the new paint something to grip on too. To de-gloss, you can use sandpaper (150 grit and above is better) to "scuff" sand (just scratching the surface a bit, not really sanding anything off of the wall), or use a commercial de-glosser (such as krud kutter's "gloss off" etc...) which in most cases, you have to rinse off before repainting, but does do a more through job. If the old paint is really hard and shiny, you might have to de-gloss AND use an adhesive primer (also called "bonding" primer) first to insure your new paint sticks and doesn't peel.

What are the different paint gloss levels available for interior walls and how do they affect the overall appearance of a room?

The different paint gloss levels for interior walls are flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and high-gloss. These levels affect the appearance of a room by influencing how light is reflected off the walls. Flat paint has a matte finish and hides imperfections but can be harder to clean. Higher gloss levels like semi-gloss and high-gloss are more reflective and easier to clean, but they can highlight imperfections on the walls.


Should you get Softouch or Gloss when I order Dre Beats off of Colorwarecom?

Gloss personally looks smarter and more stylish, but softouch is more of a practical design due to stains not showing as much on the headphones. Softouch also has a nicer feel than the gloss material.
