black laquer look paint

hey, i am from the diecast modeling forum. i am currently doing slight mods to my diecast aa s550. wait before you think that this thread is in the wrong place. i want to paint a black laquer look over the wood on my current car. i want to know which specific small bottled paint to use perferably from testors if not then model masters. i want a real shiney black finish. if you know which paint i should use then please comment back on http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=502629 (the link is my thread located in the diecast modeling forum) but if you must then you can just post back in this thread.

Did you think of using gloss black paint?

If that's not what you have in mind, I apologise, I guess I'm not sure what you're looking for then.

yes that's what i want. but do you guys have an actual name of a jar and company. cuz you guys are experienced i don't want to buy a jar and it ending up to be not what i wanted.

Well, standard Model Master gloss black should work, or Black Chrome. If you need a really high gloss, just polish it or rub it out.

i own black chrome and it gives me a dull finish. i use it for interiors on my plastic cars because it ends up kind of looking like leather.
i guess i'll try to use the mm gloss black. just have to go out and buy it.

Tamiya TS-14 Black will polish out to an incredible shine. Like, unbelieveable shine. Prime it, spray it, sand it with 2400 grit, and polish with Scratch-X. You won't beleive it.

^i would use a spray but this is wood trim. it's too much trouble for me anyways to tape everything ups and then spray it. i would rather use a jar paint. thanks for all of your help!

Model Master ACRYL (acrylic) gloss black is what you want. It brushes very nicely and cleans up w/water, dries faster/harder than Model Master enamel. Acryl works pretty well for brush painting, better than modern enamels, it seems to level out better as it dries.

I painted this with Tamiya Black with no polishing.

:screwy: It's impossible to have a good finish with a brush. NEVER, EVER, Paint a body with a brush.. please.. this is the dumbest mistake.

True for the body, but I think he's asking about using brush paint for covering the wood trim on a model's interior (wood...not "hood"). In that case it's just fine to use a paint brush.

The wheels on my new GT3 model were brush painted w/Testors Model Master gloss black Acryl paint, which saved a lot of time vs. masking, spraying, and cleaning up after spraying:

He's not talking about the wood trim on his 1:1?

I did it with the spray can, but you can airbrush it or try to brush it on a scrap part to see if it works.

no wood trim on my 1/18 diecast. the only reason i posted here was i knew you guys know what you are talking about when it comes to paints in glass jars. i know not to use the brush for body parts but he was talking about brushing and all and then showed me the pics thats what i thought. i was like wow he is a real good brush painter! lol. well thanks for your help. this is the car i'm going to do the black laquer on http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=502629
