no..They add what they call a "Flattening agent" to the clear, and based upon how much is added will decrease the gloss amount of the clear. Standard Gloss of clear is 100%....Adding the agent flattens it out....Not physically, but as in light reflection. It has nothing to do with texture at all...its still smooth, but as you flatten it it reflects light differently and less giving it the Flat look with the clear. Help?
