paint help? - Paulfzs - 09-02-15
Decided my clear (clear yellow discoloured scratched) screen needed to be black and im a tight git so sprayed it (on the inside)
problem is i used gloss and it looks matt through the screen.
Anything i can do to add a shine to it?
looks amazing when wet but i dont have the time to rig up a system to sprinkle water on it constantly!
with and without camera flash

Plastic polish the outside of the screen?
Toothpaste if you're that tight

Seen as you've already got a sprayer, how about a thin coat of laquer?

Yeah i tried it once on headlights too and to be honest i think it's too fine of a polish.
i ended up sanding the headlights back starting with quite a coarse grit (for plastic, about 400?) and finishing up with 2500 before moving onto polishing compound...they came up very nicely.
