Cool need help starting mercedes clk dtm d2

hi to all, i'm new here

i'm used to building tanks and 1/350 ~1/700 ships... so everything's muddy and rusty and stuff

i want to get started on building cars again, but i have never achieved any spectacular results. I've seen the built-up models of the CLK DTM in Tamiya's model magazine as well as scale auto modeler. Is it me or does the metallic silver finish on those models seem a bit rainy (like, you could almost pick out the individual metallic chips in the paint).

I've seen really really nice metallic finishes before, that's like, *SMOOTH*.... it's like a mirror finish. How does one do it???? Oh yeah, I'm thinking of airbrushing Tamiya Chrome Silver or Testors Acrylic Silver on the CLK DTM... which one is better suited for that consistent, glossy mirror-like look? :sun:
