Default Under body stone gard

Hi I'm on the lookout for a good under body stone gard that hopefully will have a bit of a shine to it . I was looking at the U POL Gravitex plus HS stone gard stuff but it says when it's set hard it has a mat finish . They do say that if you add 10% of enamel it will help to bring it up a bit better . But this is starting to sound a bit on the messy side . If it has to be it will have to be but just thought I would put it out there and see wot you lot have used in the past . It can be painted over but just move messing about
O I'm looking to do the underside in white

I used tintable Raptor under my rear arches, it dries with a bit of a shine but I over painted it anyway.

If you use a paint gun with a large hole and thin it down rather than shultz gun the finish is reasonable.

I used gravitex and 2k'd over the top.
I have used 2k mixed in a pot thick enough to brush over for when/if it chips, or i can thin it back down to apply it with a gun.

Your 3dr can’t be that bad, it was one of the cleanest underbodies I’d seen when I last seen your car, admittedly that was a few years ago 😂 you had the focos on a spit on the drive the last time I seen you guys 🤣
