Default which do you like most (matte or gloss)

coaches,

thanx for the paint class, i thought maybe i was doing it entirely wrong. D-mass, the outdoor gloss you recomeneded works great, but what if you want your pants and jersey's to have a dull finish and your helmets to be extemely glossy. I spoke with mike beal on this topic and he told me he learned techniques from a great painter from years ago, the painter told him clothing should never be shiny (glossy). He told me just look down at what you are wearing, do you see anything shiny ! Also i hear if your teams uni's are extremely matted, the helmets will glow like diamonds when gloss coated.

D-mass, i will have to see your giants again because if painted to perfection, they must have the prettiest color helmets when then sun hits those things I like both, (matte and gloss), i guess it's a choice on what will make the team look best. That outdoor gloss is amazing.

One other note, what do you guy's use to get that straight line between the jersery's and pants, also the socks and the bottom of the pants ? the paint brush was ok but i took a toothpick and that works better.

Does anybody have a picture with a player that has tape wrapped around his cleats, DON HUTSON of the DWF had some nice redskins with that look. That look would be nice with some grass and dirt stains on the tape(paint) and also on the thigh pads and elbow pads.
