ok I did a photoshop of a paintscheme on my truck, and my truck is flat black. my question is how can I make it look like gloss? I'm not using actual photoshop, I'm using micrografix picture publisher 6. anyone offer any tips?

well think about this... look at a photo of a car/truck or anything with a high gloss finish.  Better off looking at a photo of a vehicle with paint. How would you think that the "gloss" is made? Think about this... if you wanna making something chrome in a drawing there isn't a pencil that can reproduce the "chrome" effect... chrome like "gloss" is merely a reflection of what is in the surroundings.
