I would like so much to know how to make such a shiny paint work? Great work 👍

It's all about good preparation and training 😉
After a solid paint job ( non-metallic): if it is necessary, I do some wet sanding before I spray a layer of clear cote.
Using metallic paint, I spray clear cote anyway and if I'm not happy with the result, I'll do the same: wet sanding, another layer.
Some guys polishing the clear cote to a shiny result. On my experience, it is not that much necessary, when you work clean and with some more attention while preparation for the final layer. I can count on one hand and name them, how many cars I've polished.
One sucess factor (on my point of view) is to use hand warm paint.

The model car looks fabulous. Very cool. The geen interior matches perfect to the body color. Not a three-tone nore a two-tone - just one color. I like those rims. I awaited the stock hub cabs. But those things make it a little bad ass 😉 It shows, that there could be a great power plant under the hood. Cool!

I never sand down paint, but I always use clear coat and polish. All my finished models, except for weathering in automotive 2k clear.
