Only reason I'd chosen a matte finish (over gloss) was figuring it would "hide" more imperfections. I've painted a few cars/bikes/etc over the years, and know gloss & colors almost "point a finger" at the bad spots. The top of the tail being one (on this fish). It actually doesn't look so bad in person, I must have just snapped the pic at the worst possible angle which seemed to magnify the spot. It's now hung over the front door. Thanks again for the help!
