It is not essentially required to get a gloss, as a two pack paint finish done well should have high gloss with minimal peel. However if you have
imperfections like specs of dust, dry spots, runs or any other blemish in the top of the solid colour or clearcoat for metallics, then most of these
imperfections can sucessfully be removed. Experience counts in these situations so the finish is not ruined and the job has to be redone.
Now also in regards to buffing two pack. If you are after a concourse or perfectly flat like a mirror paint finish, then a complete rub back and buff
will achieve this finish. I have seen paint finishes off the gun that exceed the quality of most new cars, be fully rubbed back and buffed to a finish
that exceeds most peoples ideas of car paint finish.
Just remember these types of finish take time. Hours = dollars.

dont be a girl a mask IS a good idea..
not that i use one at work for cutting.. i like to be able to breathe more comfortably when cutting as you generally spend a good few hours doing it..
and every now and then ya needa slag up some 2000 to de-nibb a bit of shit.. spit works better than water
