Anyone willing to doublecheck my Tayda UV pdf? (also question about finish)

First Question: To say I don't know what I'm doing is an understatement haha. Working on a fuzz graphic through Inkscape and Scribus, and I THINK after about a week I've got it to the point it needs to be at to send it into Tayda. It only has a white layer because the enclosure is black and it's a minimal white design. (Varnish is next question) Would anyone with Illustrator be willing to check this and make sure it looks good to send into Tayda? The PDF is attached.

Second Question: I'm using the black sand textured 125B enclosure because I have a custon EQD Plumes with a finish like this and it's awesome. For the varnish, should I copy and swatch everything to a GLOSS-M layer or will the finish already match the enclusure with no varnish layer. I see that you can choose no finish, but what I'm not understanding is what the finish will look like if you don't select matte or gloss, specifically in terms of the black sand textured enclosure. Thanks in advance for any help!

Not where I can look at it just now, but I would add an additional white layer, or your white will have a gray tint.
Edit: There may be an option to just print it twice been a while since I've done white on Black
 
For the differences between the finishes, think of them in terms of paint finishes:

Gloss Varnish: High-Gloss
Gloss Matte: Flat/Matte
No Gloss: Eggshell

I have an enclosure I had done twice, one with the matte gloss and one with no gloss. Just wanted to see the difference. To be honest, not much, mainly just that the matte gloss gives a more refined, smooth look to the print, whereas no gloss has a more imperfect look to it. It really is like a flat paint versus an eggshell paint. I’ll try to get pictures that show it, but it really isnt much of a difference.

However, if you’re wanting to match the sand texture enclosure, you’ll want the matte gloss. No gloss finish definitely has a bit of a sheen to it. Very subtle but it’s there.
