Actually, i have never done that on any of my shields...
I am slacking in that regard.
But there are loads of people who have tried it. Perhaps they can chime in.

Hey guys does anyone have any tips on semi-glossing a cap shield? Or tutorial to help? I am a noob at customizing stuff so would appreciate the help!
I've done it. I used tamiya ts79 I think. It's their semi gloss clear spray. Two or three really light costs from about 10-12 inches away. Let it dry to touch between coats. It'll turn out perfectly this way.

This figure is great. Way better than TFA. Makes me want to sell that one but will probably keep it for nostalgia.
One thing i will say is to warm the shield up first. I use a hairdryer to warm items i am going to paint. Then spray, and then give it a light gong over with the hair dryer from about a foot away after you have sprayed, gently back and forth, for thirty seconds. And it will be ready for another coat in less than five minutes as long as the first coat wasn't too thick.

Thanks for the tip!
No worries. It works for any paint application. Warming the surface beforehand allows the evaporation of the parts of the paint that allow it to dry. And warming after speeds this up too.
Did a little experiment at work today. I had to pop in to do some other things and when i was finished i did some dremelling. I took one of the empty GA helmets i bought from Kit Chen and a bootleg Rescue Sculpt i bought on Ebay a while back. I dremelled the head till it would fit in the mask just to see if a neutral sculpt would look better in there.
I think it does, even though it's a bootleg rescue sculpt(So it's not the best likeness, i know).
Oh, and i don't have my GA Cap yet, so i took pics on TFA version.
