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.

With wet sanding, what you want is the highest grit you can get. These sand papers are black and not your typical brown rough low grit sand paper. You just dunk the sheet into a bucket of water and start sanding. You'll be amazed on how well it works.
