  1. Thank you for the reply and explanation. Is there a catalyzed system you recommend? Metallics, pearls, and regular single tones? Thanks again.
  2. Hello! First time poster, not new to the hobby Question I have is, how do you achieve those glassy like mirror finishes on model cars? I have sprayed Plastikote Primer on some spoons to test. I then airbrushed HOK silver enamel (from Wal Mart) by misting several coats. I then airbrushed red metallic also from HOK enamel (Wal Mart). I airbrushed Testors Glosscoat thats from that jar with the purple label. I shot multiple coats until i achieved a fairly glossy finish. After letting it dry for a few hours, I went from 3200 --> 12,000 grit, and polished with Novus #2. The result was really nice but after awhile, it looked like i lost some of that nice luster. Any tips or other brands I can try? Thanks..
