Consider using lacquer. I believe Duplicolor has what you may need.

You can spray a few color coats, color sand [wetsand] between them, and then clear coat final, then wetsand that and buff it out for a flawless finish...with a rattle can.

With lacquer, if you goof [get a run, or whatever] just sand it out, hit it again, and keep going.

This is paint, not fucking rocket science.

granted its not rocket science, but its not exactly finger painting in art class either.

Imma stick with this rattle can i think, the parts that DID end up glossy look pretty good. i think i just need to put a fuck ton of paint on there to get my desired look. that, and be a bit more consistent with my "strokes".
