Thanks for the help. I'll try to post some pics here when I get it done (if I remember smile ).

I once sanded a red DMG smooth. It was a bitch...

Wet sand, tack cloth and make sure layers of primer/paint/clear dry well and evenly.

This is basically what I want to go for:

I want it to be like a damn mirror. How can I get the DMG to have the smoothest glossiest texture possible? Should I just lay on a super thick gloss layer over the paint, or should I attempt to buff the actual plastic before painting? What gloss paint can you recommend? Thanks!
