guys i got some paint from nissan it was in a tin n on tin it was a base coat(only 1 nissan gave) but after spraying it on it doesnt look as shiny as its meant 2 b to match car (even with several coats its only like a slight matt looking like finish) am i meant to go to homebase n get some clear glossy varnish(they only do wood clear varnish samething tho isnt it as long as its clear) n go over it to give it that shine? (it did say on tin use varnish but i aint so sure so asking first b4 i stick varnish on it :p)
 
Im not a sprayer here but i think what you are looking for is laquer! Dont buy wood stain from homebase lol its for your car not your laminate flooring hehehe! If you go to any good paint shop (car paint shop) They will be able to tell ya exactly what you need!

Daz :alien:
 
yeah you need to laquer it to get the shine, halfords sell it if you can't find it anywhere else. they'll be the most expensive place tho.

Base coat paint does need a laquer. If its solid then it doesnt. Careful though sometimes halfords laquer reacts badly with 2K base paints.
 
Get it from Nissan. They supply it with metallic paints, they gave it to me with the Colbat blue spray, Kuro black and Batic blue
 
nissan said they dont do it :( dont think my paint is metalic :( also whats 2k paint? gonna try halfords later :(
