Hi,

Can anyone recommend me a easy to use very high gloss for spraying over Halfords colour coats, tried the Halfords lacquer and it's not the best.

Cheers.

Can you tell us what you're painting Whippy?

Just little fiesta, nothing exciting I'm afraid and keeping it the same factory colour...

Ok thanks I'll shall look into this Upol paint

Fair does, guessed that might be what it was.

Not painted cars myself, but painting other metal items I've found better results by allowing the paint to cure (dry) for slightly longer. Sometimes I've even placed the painted item above an electric heater to speed up the curing process.
