This is one of the 'must know' techniques if you want to get that brilliant shine on your models.

Let me know your thoughts.  :D

I did an El Camino for my daughter doing that with Tamiya clear blue.  Looks cool.

I sprayed some gloss black one time after using Alclad.  I had done a bad job of rinsing out the Alclad.  The black had a nice metal flake look.  Maybe worth some expermentation there too.

I discovered this effect accidentally when doing a P-47 Tbolt.  The front of the cowl was to be painted red along with the spine leading to the rudder.   I painted the cowl and the body of the plane using Alclad aluminum but not the spine.  The red on the cowl had a distinct metallic look and was much brighter than the red on the spine.  The cowl, while beautiful, was incorrect.  I learned to allow for this effect when painting NMF.
