Using caulk for water/puddles

I find acrylic cauk a bit matt for puddles.  You want a shiny surface, so I use gloss clear.  And I don't mix any paint in.  Puddles are too shallow to have much color.  Just paint a gloss clear over the matt ground color.  That is, what I have said is for water puddles.  Puddles of oil or some other dark liquid should be colored, and before application.  Mix clear and a grey or brown.
