Personally, I have only used Extreme, and I find it goes more of a satin, or brushed aluminum after a month with clerarcoat. I have tried all ways to spray, clearcoat hot, half baked, full bake, cold, etc.

i've only used the extreme, too (based on information on this forum that said it's the best of the three). as initially shot, it's almost ok. once clear coated it's a glossy grey. expect to be disappointed.
