Thanks, They did turn out shiney. I have been using a cheap matte photo paper like a 34 or 38 lb,and spraying with a cheap clear acrylic from lowes to keep them from bleeding when wet, they would be a little glossy but the matte finish paper was soaking up the clear coat. I had a pack of Kodak semi-gloss brochure paper I had used on an earlier project so I thought Id try it. The problem with semi gloss or soft gloss paper is they are thicker and little more expensive, but they look ten times better and considering it only took a very light coat of the clear the saving on the clear cancels the extra cost on the paper and since I only used one light coat of clear opposed to several heavy coats on the matte paper this isnt any extra millage for the clear they really dont look to thick on the bottle. Short version, I used a lightweight semi glossy paper and sprayed with a light coat of clear acrylic, and they turned out shiney and didnt cost a lot.
