^blasted it with paint lol. and i did a good amount of coats of paint too. I never count or nothing since i try to spray light coats, and a hell of alot. but if you want glossy look, you have to spraylight coats, then wait for it to dry but not fully dry cause you want the next coat to kinda mix with the one before, like you have to build the paint up to get that glossy non textured look from ratle cans, and it gets difficult at times to build it up without it running. Just gotta be careful, but you dont have to perfect the color paint, because if you clearcoat it then that will make it shine anyways.

You can just pick up a thing of paint polish form the auto parts store and rub the **** out of it. On headlights and small things you will have to do it by hand. The one that I have that works decent and you can find it any were is mothers paint polish. It takes time but the end result is well worth it. You just apply and rub it in until it turns clear then wipe it off and repeat until it looks like glass. It will take awhile but everything will come out of the paint or clear. To get my front bowtie perfect it took me about and hour and a half, but it was like a mirror by the end of it.
