    I also use 5335 clear on playfields also, this is BASF's high line glamour clear.

    Quoted from EMsInKC:

    The problem with the auto clear is the gloss. I guess you can sand it down some to knock the gloss out but EM playfield simply didn't shine like what you see quite often when people use auto clear

    I add SM09 to the clear coat for em playfields; it's a flattening additive so the gloss will more resemble the original lacquer finish but with the durability of a 2k product.

    As a side note for safety I'm spraying in an automotive heated down draft paint booth.
