so i painted my body components and did many layers. the color matches perfectly but i just don't have the gloss or shine to it. Is there another paint thing i was suppose to buy for this effect? the color is just flat and need the relfection like the rest of the car.
Can you guys help me out in what i need to do in order to get the glossy look to it? it'll help a lot. -------------------- PROJECT 6TH GEN

go by yourself a can of dupi-color clear coat and lightly spray about 2-3 coast of that on there, wet sand it with some 1000-1200 grit sand paper and spray one more nice coat on it...it should look pretty close to the rest of the car after that
