Just finished applying (sprinkle technique) fine silver metal flake and sealing the flake with 2K. Flake is very secure now but does have somewhat of a raised texture. I would rather not sand sand the texture away per se, but would like to get a thicker gloss finish that is wet sand-able and buff-able. What gloss product is suggested? Would rather not do 40 layers of thin aerosol. I do not have a paint sprayer.

Good stuff, thanks. I did use Spray Max 2k over the flake to seal it and it is now really solid...which is good as I have a very secure flake surface. It's all silver (silver base and silver flake) so color loss to some gentle wet sanding will be low risk. What I need is simple very thick applications of clear gloss that I can re-apply many times. The mohair roller vs a brush is a cool thought. Maybe I'll brush first just to fill indentations from flake to flake then...use the mohair roller to get a smoother but thick application,. What I'm struggling with is what gloss product to use. Stew Mac makes a water based liquid clear gloss in a can/tub that I could roll on...any thoughts on that? Thanks guys I really appreciate the thinking!!!
BTW no paint room or large air vac in my small workshop...alas.
