I need to know what to use after you smooth down the final coat of paint to bring out the shine.
1. Apply plastic primer.
2. smooth primer
3. apply black paint
4. smooth to a smooth finish with 1200-1500 wet/dry paper.
5.

use T-cut mate, the 1500 wet and dry should flat the paint the t-cut will bring out the shine takes a while but be patient then polish to hold the shine with a car polish like auto gly high gloss stuff

or use lacquer! one coat after the 1200-1500, then another 2 at 15 min intervals, dont put too much on coz if it runs u will have to go back down to the paint!
