    I have three different painting styles in my set up to figure this out.

    The one that is just straight paint marks easily, i.e. finger marks, but is shiny.
    The one that is paint and clear coated then wet sanded a few times isn't shiny, and doesn't seem to mark.
    The one that is paint and clear coated but not wet sanded just looks like crapola.

    My paint was the pyrenees black (X08).
