advice on Gun Metal

Hi

It's the first time I use Light gun metal.. painting went well.

My question is, can I polish this paint with Tamiya Compound ? Usually, you don't polish metalic color, but this one seem glossy.

I compound every car I make, but not the metalic one without clear

Thanks

i used this too and it came out very glossy without clear, but i suspect it would be nicer if u put clear first then polish as it is a metallic color and will look much better..

Re: advice on Gun Metal

Well currently, it's praticly Pman shine.. It's the usual paint gloss I have from my recent kit, but compound could help to hide 1 or 2 small problem, so I'm still asking if I can compound it or I should leave with the small imperfection i have (very few, praticly not visible)
