Some well clearcoat over the top....but i'm not a fan of doing that. Once you have the body polished and the decals finished, i just wax over them with Tamiya Wax for a final finish

Testor's stuff is good, but only their top line like "Model Masters" and "Colors by Boyd". They're enamels, so you need to be careful when spraying wet coats.
Metallic paints are different from most paints in that they have small metallic flakes, so the finished product has a shimmery look. |

Detailing
How long do you wait in between coats of primer? Do you use acrylic paints for detailing?
Thanks!

You can use either acrylic or enamel for detailing...but i like enamels better as they take longer to dry and give a better finish.
