Paint and other finishes come in a variety of finish gloss material appearance gloss levels, which correspond to different levels of specular reflection . Some common names for levels of gloss include flat, matte, eggshell, satin, silk, semi gloss, high gloss. These terms are not standardized, and not all manufacturers use all these terms. Gloss level and sheen level are terms that are often used interchangeably. Note that the gloss level of paint can also affect its apparent colour. Gloss level can be characterized by the angular distribution of light scattered from a surface, measured with goniophotometry , but there are various ways of measuring this, and different industries have different standards. ref Groupe Imbotec Group, Gloss Meter Industry Standards http www.gloss meters.com GlossIntro5.html 6 ref One manufacturer Which? date November 2009 measures gloss as percentages at an unspecified angle and gives Flat 1 9 gloss Low Sheen 10 25 gloss Eggshell 26 40 gloss Semi Gloss 41 69 glossGloss 70 89 gloss Painting As a gloss finish will reveal surface imperfections such as sanding marks, surfaces must generally be prepared more thoroughly for gloss finishes.

They appeared on KCRW s Morning Becomes Eclectic in 1999. They contributed their single The Sunburn Song to the Nickelodeon TV channel Nickelodeon television series The Adventures of Pete & Pete . Throughout the career of the band, it had been difficult to secure a drummer. Three years after the release of their debut album, the band awaited the release of their second studio album, The Falling Kind on Dirt Records.

Gloss is an optical property descrbing the ability of a surface to reflect light into the specular direction. The factors that affect gloss are the refractive index of the material, the angle of incident light and the surface topography . Gloss is one of the factors that descrbe the visual appearance of an object. Materials with smooth surfaces appear glossy. Very rough surfaces such as chalk reflect no specular light and appear dull. Gloss is also expressed as Lustre mineralogy lustre in mineralogy , or Gloss paint sheen in certain fields of application. The appearance of gloss depends on a number of parameters which include the illumination angle, surface condition and observer characteristics. Primarily light is reflected from a surface in one of two ways. In specular reflection , the angle of the light reflected from the surface is equal and opposite to the angle of the incident light. A diffuse reflection scatters the incident light over a range of directionss. File gloss2.jpg thumb right Specular and diffuse reflection Variations in surface texture influence specular reflectance levels. Objects with a fine surface texture, i.e. highly polished and smooth, allow a high percentage of light to be reflected from their surfaces making them appear shiny to the eye. This is due to a greater amount of incident light striking the surface being reflected directly back to the observer the majority of which being reflected in the specular direction. Conversely objects with rough surfaces cause the light to be deflected at different angles according to the surface profile resulting in a scattering of light away from the angle of reflection.
