alright i got a few questions

1. what is a good body filler? ive been using some low end testors stuff, to be honest with you it really sucks. what are some good brands and where can i find it?

2. what is the best way to get a shiny finish out of paints? ive been using some automotive primer, testors enamels and some lacquer gloss coat (is this the same as clear coat?) and really not got very nice results. i have a good painting technique, the the paint is even and no major screw ups, its just dull.

3. how do i remove the enamel paint and primer underneath off of a model car body without damaging the body filler or body itself?

thats pretty much all i got now, i may add more

1. Testors Pro Red or Bondo Glaze, either is pretty much the same thing. The White Testors is junk, as well as Squadron putties, run away!

2. I have been using Future with pretty good results.

3. ELO Pactra I think.

Polly S ELO (Easy Lift Off not to be confused with Electric Light Orchestra, both are good though.)

Thanks, that's right I always forget who makes that stuff.

alright, i got some of the testors lacquer. i think its called "one coat" or something. i got some different colors and the clear coat. i applied the 3rd full coat about an hour ago. it looks really nice! it looks kinda like it has some sort of flake in it.

any last tips on how i should do the clear coat?
