I’ve got a little racing car project lined up and the finish is going to be gloss red. Since my return to modelling I’ve only done military subjects so need some advice on how best to achieve this please?
Shiny finish

all depends on how far you want to go
spray with a decent 'gloss' paint, use a gloss clear over the top
you can go down the road of polishing......loads of vids on youtube.......loads of places sell the gear, just got to be gentle with it

Gloss red racing car, apparently. My guess would be a Ferrari.
like British Racing Green is the colour associated with the Uk, red is the colour for Italy......remember Tarquinis Alfa?....maseratis race in red too
Sorry for slow reply been out all day. The mini project is a Ford 3 litre GT

Use a decent gloss red lacquer paint. If you paint it well enough you should have an excellent shine without polishing, but you can polish for a perfect shine..
