After that, it won't make it anymore shiner, except that it might run or over saturate. You might want to stick with 3-4 even coats to save the Glossifier for other applications :P

The reason why i do not suggest to use Glossifier alone in a UNDIPPED because, it is very thin like 5-9x thinner to the Original Dip and Very hard to get an Even finish Compared to a Normal Plasti Dip.
IMO, to get an even finish which you have to compensate to applying alot of coats might end up Eating the Original Clear Coat of the car.

The Closest way that you are going to get a shadowline finish is either
Black Gloss - Black over Glossifier
Or
Satin Black - Mixed with 50/50 of clear dip and gloss dip on a ALREADY dipped surface.

If you use a Pearlizer + Glossifier on a black dipped surface, it would end up close to a Saphire Black Metalic Finish
If you use a Metalizer on a Dipped Surface, it will end up either Silver Like/ or Copper Like depending what metalizer you get,
Nice, I didnt realize there was a gloss black plastidip - good info!
