I have to paint a model (with a lot of small details) made by two different parts: a black detail one and a white detail one

I would like to obtain a glossy effect:
any suggestions for the paint technique and type of paint?

thank you very much!

Are you planning to paint them a different color, or do you just want a glossy version of the Detail materials? If it's the latter, a quick coat of Gloss varnish will do.

What are these going to be used for? If it's going to be under stress, or outside, go enamel. Otherwise, i would recommend acrylics.

I hope i've answered your question, and as an alternative, you could look into candy coating those parts.]]> TreadshotA1 2009-12-08T08:29:08-00:00
