howdy, thinking about painting my disco black i like matt black but dont want to go down that route, so im thinking about gloss black iv seen some on ebay "military gloss black paint" would this have a decent gloss finish if applied by roller and if so how much would i need? and what type of rollers and prep would need to be done? im a newbie to this paint malarky so you will have to excuse my ignorance....... its all a learning curve and the best way to learn is to do?!!! apparently

gloss with a roller doesnt sound too good.Also why would the "military" have a gloss black just for them?
