Well my 91 X had some really bad peeling paint on the hood and roof so I decided to sand it down some and get some duplicolor paint to match. I sprayed on two coats of the base green color and then two coats of clear coat. I think it looks really good and matches well. My question is how can I make this paint shine like the rest of the truck? In the direct sunlight the metallic sparkles like crazy but it still looks dull.
Just as a note...I know this is no substition for a pro paint job and I am not expecting a great job or perfection. My intent was to make this truck look alittle better and it does and better than I expected :D
 






More clearcoat and wet sand.
 






yeah Meat is right
That said rattle can is only gonna do so much
