Just like topic says. I want to know how to touch up my kit, and i might just repaint my entire kit, but! I need to know how to do it right, and how to get it that high-gloss finish! Anyone have previous experience? confused.gif
Thanks,
DJMC

The process is harder than a spray can, especially with lighter colored paints and paints with metalflake or any special stuff like that. It is difficult to get the color to match the original color sometimes, even if you get the right paint. It has to be done just right or the color will be off by a shade or 2. You have to be really patient with it and just get some experience, then you'll be good.
