It will take "sweat equity" to achieve a glossy finish. But it can be done and the results are well worth the effort.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. So glue will stick to it also, so a person can modify it a bit? Any issues with paint sticking to it? I usually use automotive primers so hopefully that would work on this stuff to.

Thanks,
