Hi,

I'm looking for a coating to apply to the black metallic vinyl wrapped roof of my 2015 Mustang. The vinyl has quite a bit of orange peel texture, dulling the gloss.

I have 3 coats of Reload, but still could be a bit more glossy. Would a full coating add noticeably more gloss, and if so, which coating? I understand nothing will hide the orange peel, just looking to maximize what I have.

Here's a picture of the orange peel.

I think you're at the mercy of the wrap tbh.

IME reloads appearance is no different from 1 - 3 coats.. ie its great after 1 correctly applied even coat... so maybe there is a saving for you there..

IF you have an uneven surface and coat it you will have a glossier uneven surface... and potentially more obviously uneven...

As Rasky says, the issue lies in the film.. either reapply the film, or have the roof panel professionally painted.....
