Question

I like to build scale muscle cars and trucks, and alot of my ideas come from car mags where I see these beautiful cars with great paint jobs. I would like to have that for my future projects. To have that shine, that would be great. thanks

Answer 1

Candy apple paint jobs are actually a white base coat with a transparent color glaze over them.
Testors(the model Paint company) has a line of glazes

Answer 2

Have you been using a clear coat? That normally intensifies the metallic shine.
