Michael, The black was the jars of model master gloss black enamel not the lacquer.I thinned it out with airbrush thinner. Wet sanded in between coats with 4000 grit then sprayed it with I think it was Humbrol Clear.It was a while ago. The orange was Testers Hugger Orange spray can. Sprays on flat then sprayed with Testers clear from their spray can. Could have been the Lacquer System on that one. I have now changed over my paint supplies to Tamiya Acrylic. It has no smell and easy clean up. The trick is to wet sand it with min.of 4000 or finer to get any defects, orange peel etc out of it. Then polished with Meguiar's car wax. BUT you really have to be careful not to sand through the paint or the clear coat. Stay away from the edges. Body work has to be perfect for black paint. Any defects will stand out. Ken.
