The body's now had several coats of Xtracrylix gloss,but is still decidedly satin. The colour coat is quite rough, possibly because it's designed for the inside of a lexan body shell.

I'm tempted to leave it, it's looks pretty good and after the problems I've had I don't want to risk screwing it up by trying to wet sand. What do you guys think?

let the paint cure for a week and try a bit of car polish on it. Might give you bit more of a shine

It looks fine as it is, too much shine makes them a bit toy-like.

Cheers guys. To be honest I'm going to call the body done, I don't think I can improve on it and it looks ok. :smiling3:

Looks good. Love the pinwashed seats, sometimes it's best to leave as it is and you have built a good model.

Just a note, if you want propper scale mettalic paint go to zero paints.
