Spoiler

Given the news from @Drum18, and the Canada steelbook, this will be the same edition in the USA.

Oh dear. This looks dull matte. Though AoU was much better than this. Perfect candidate to custom gloss though.

Is dull and the blast on the shield is bare steelbook metal... Pretty lame.

The previous CA TWS was also matte. I may custom gloss both of them too.

Totally matte? Lame.

I'll still pick one up but I'm glad I forgot to cancel my Zavvi steel.

 

[Flloydo]

Is the back matte too? To me it looks like the back is glossed like the UK version

Much better with a spine title though

 

[dLux]

This pretty much always happens.

Europe gets better finish.
US gets a titled spine.

The video posted by @sam305 makes it look like the back is slightly glossy like the UK version, with the sparks.

while I preferred Blufans front arts all over this but what I like about BB and WWA is inside art which is way way better than Blufans... well, we don't always get what we want, do we?

 

[StifflersDad]

When I get the inevitable Novamedia choice or Manta global I will swap the front and back plate with the US steel and then have best of both worlds. Better finish and spine title.

It looks like bare metal to me and it makes it shine a bit.

 

[dLux]

It's bare metal on those areas (sparks, impact) on the UK release also.

Does it dry smooth or bubbly?

The secret is to not over-saturate it. Just practice and you will get the hang of it. Apply a thin coat then let it dry under the sun for at least 24 hours. Practice on any metal surface.

Do you have a photo of one you've used it on before? Also, does it make the steelbook stink like spraypaint?

Here is one of the many I've done. They usually retain that "spray paint" smell. It fades, but if you put your nose up to it and sniff, you can smell it. It's an easy trade-off for me though, because I love glossy steelbooks
