i checked lowe's and they carry wilsonart and formica laminates neither of which have a gloss black, only a flat black and a sparkle black, i even checked the websited and they indeed don't have a gloss black laminate, does anyone know where i can get a gloss black laminate

Zane, you need to find a distributor in your area. Your dealer may well be a tile distributor, as here in Austin. Check the yellow pages under laminate, or go to tile, or go to the WilsonArt web site and look for dealers close to you. Gloss is definitely a special order.

i seem to remember looking at the wilson art website and all they had was flat black but i'll check the phone book for some more dealers

A very good place to look would be local kitchen cabinet shops. Most of them do custom work and will have access to any kind of laminate that exists. As Hank mentioned, gloss black will most likely be special order. Though if you have any large woodworking supply companies they may have it in stock. Best of luck.

Tape Ease
Any color is available in any finish. Just ask for gloss finish when ordering.

Zane, you should be able to find a tile distributor that is either a WilsonArt or Formica distributor. Gloss is not normally a stock item. Here's a description of WilsonArt's finishes:

A mirror sheen finish which gives a smooth, brilliant appearance. Excellent for any vertical application. Laminates with a high gloss finish can be used for horizontal application only in light use areas. We recommend that it not be used on horizontal work surfaces such as countertops. Glossometer reading: MD and CD 100 ( 10.
