| yes you sand it the same amount. The only thing is your going be adding several more coats of clear coat. I would add about 2 or 3. The only thing i dont like about glossy finish is the finger prints and it gets dirty so easy and when u clean it, it only scratches. I would stick with no gloss if it were me.

| hmm this seems like a very bad project to do lol. What about if i use like a glossy black paint? also, if anyone has a xaserIII or if you seen one before.. in the front its like read and it has a very thick metal on it. ( i have the black and red case) would i just cover that up or is that possible that i can paint? if i can paint it, how would i get that off? it seems like its powercoated or somthing on.. im not too sure..
