Quick! Help!
I need to know the supplies needed for a clean, shiny, reflective finish. I know i need primer, then tamiya paint, then what? Sand paper or compund? Then you finish with Tamiya Clearcoat? (do they make one?)
I need help fast cuz my models are coming this week, and im going to my hobby shop also. Thanks.

wet/dry sandpaper is good if you have a lot of orange peel. compound is more like a mild peel, finish off the paint thing.
Wash and prep model by removing mold lines, etc. Prime it Spray, usually 3 coats. start off light, then medium, then go for the goal on the last coat. Wait at least 24 hours. Check for any blemishes in paint (dust, orange peel), and wetsand and repaint if necessary. polish with tamiya compound wax with tamiya wax Clearcoat isn't needed. Pman's models prove that point too!
