Polishing Natural Metal Finish??????

[Guest]

Hi all,

Currently building the F-86F and I just tried the Mr. Metal Color (Lacquer). I test painted on the kit and the result as follow.

And as you can see from the paint bottle it's written "it provides metallic feeling when the paint surface is polished". How on earth do you polish this stuff?? Any idea or inputs are greatly appreciated. Thanks all

Leo

Brilliant stuff and you get a great metallic finish.

Use nothing but what I said. Anything else is just overkill.
