it looks pretty darned sick, here is my opinion though. EVERYBODY who does custom paint like that seems like they go for the glossy clear coat, while that wet look is sexy, I almost think, by looking at your pics, that that paint job would be absolutley rediculous with a matte clear....just my $0.02. either way, its going to look good, that is fo' sho'

Actually already had thought of that, and when the test panels were done, I looked at it in a Matte finish and a Gloosy Finish.

With the Gloss there is much more detail that seems to come out.

The painter explained that the clear delivers a depth to the artwork that you can not get with a matte finish. If I wanted to give up some of the ghost work which does not show in the pictures I could go matte.

So high finish gloss is what I decided on.

But I sure do thank you for your suggestion.
