Thanks always appreciate feedback and knowing it's not just me thinking that I did it well haha!

I literally bought a £6.50 can of gloss off of amazon and sprayed it over the steelbook. Left it for 24 hours to dry, and now going to leave it probably another 24 (because it smells) but it is dry.

Is this the one you used mate?

That's the one!

And no, unfortunately I don't get commission on each can of gloss directed from this site!

@d4vem88

great job

last week i do the same with the another german steelbook i had.
i looks good but i have many problems with dust.
what have you done so that no dust falls on it.
i took it in a cabinet but it did not help.

You all may cringe at this... But after spraying mine I just left it in the garden shed to dry.

Wow, that looks like a real pukka even job on that!

All you used was a can of spray gloss? Epic effort there man.

wow thanks 4 the info and well done D4vem88 - only bad thing is now i'm gonna wanna gloss every matte steel i own I already spend too much time convertin my steels 2 hold extra discs as it is

 

[gaeljet]

I hear you too well matte, lol, but what wouldn't we do for our precsious/steelbooks.. lol

 

[Gamesgaryjp]

Only trouble is finding somewhere to sit them to dry with no debris or particles in the air. Imagine going to check on it and theres flies and insects all welded into the finish

Anyone noticed increased demand for this on eBay recently? It's pushing prices right up!

Yeah I noticed, it's nuts! I've seen it go for more than the HMV one! Bit smug I got mine for £9.99 at Zavvi!

Not surprising since the sequel was just released in theaters and announced for steelbooks.

My guess is that even though the HMV one is considered the better quality steelbook the artwork of the zavvi version is more likely to match up better with the 2nd films artwork

I wouldn't of thought so as the zavvi Version is the same artwork as the amaray designed by paramount, the new one will be Disney

But he's right, regardless of who designed them, they do actually match better as a pair vs the HMV/German first avenger release. Providing the design provided by Zavvi turns out to be the final one.

The latter looks like the Star Trek Into Darkness villain steel. Not that its a bad thing.
