Refraction Index
Changing the Refraction Index will control the reflectivity of the clear coat, in other words, its “shininess.” Increase this value to reflect more light. Note that changing this value will also change the appearance of the base color as it changes the amount of light that is being reflected. The default setting of 1.5 is a great basic setting, but if a more shiny paint is desired, increase the value. Bringing the value down to 1 will almost hide the clear-coat.
