You're absolutely right, Kommisar89. A bike like my PX10 with heavy clearcoat over the decals has not been restored, it's been custom painted. A true restoration paint job would be enamel under the decals.

Basecoat-clearcoat paintjobs have a dead flat basecoat. All of the gloss comes from the clear.
