      hey guys! i know what you re going to say after this sentence, another painting question again right? but i did prior research before i decided to ask all of you. so heres my question, i just finnished spray painting my bit, first with primer then my desired colour with touch up car paint. i read in the previous topics that you need to spray the bit with clear coat to get it nice and shiny! is this true, i just wanted to clear this up.

      thanks again guys! any help is appreciated.:D

      Yep. It can help protect your paint job as well. Although you can get a nice shine out of just using a gloss paint without the clear coat. Click on the link in my signature below. The redsuns car (yellow) doesn’t have a clear finish on it, yet.

      Sry froggy, haven’t used that myself. If memory serves me correctly I think Panda should be able to help you on this one. Not sure if he has used crome, but he seems to know lots about paints.

      spanky knows a thing or two as well, but haven’t seen him in the forums for a bit? If they don’t respond to a post here try to pm them.

      Good luck, and take pics when you are done:)
