Exterior paint

I'm wanting to do a mirror finish on a car I have on the bench, My problem is I'm not great at painting lol.. I dont have a airbrush so have to use a rattle can. I want to get away from Gloss enamal just did some research and find its thick and already now how long it takes to dry lol.. Craft store nearby sells Model master paints is that enamel"?. Is it worth the cost for the little can over a much larger one like Krylon

Try the Testors Wet Look Clear. It does a pretty good job. Let it dry overnight before handling the car. It might feel dry, but the paint is still soft.

Not sure I can find it local but will check..I HATE waiting on things ordering on online lol.

Go to an auto parts store and get duplicolor primer, paint, and clear. Way better paint than Testors.

I agree with Erik. Duplicolor stuff is great, dries fairly quick, and polishes out great

[sonictherevenge]

Is duplicolor Enamal. Should I get the gloss

[jeffbrad]

I believe it's what's called modified enamel but behaves like lacquer so far as dry times,etc. I usually clear my builds because it's safer when polishing to polish clear.

[slammedi'am]

Duplicolor on everything here......You can go back and look at some of my builds

I like testor's one coat lacquer paints the name is a lie but looks great after a few coats

Duplicolor paints are lacquer. You need the prime/sealer, the color coat of your choice, and the gloss clearcoat. Give each one at least a full day to dry.
