How do you get it to shine like that, do you lacquer it as well ?

I have used VHT paint in the past and I have never got much of a sheen and definately not a shine and I found it a sod to keep clean as dirt seems to get into the surface of it. I suppose you never have that problem Graham ? The hub is bare alloy and the engine is VHT paint
Julie, it is just a satin finish
