Ok, so I've started my first custom (a baby sea pony) I'm working on the painting part. I've read through several tutorials and I've been hand painting in layers making sure to let them dry. But as I look at the awesome pictures on here I've noticed my painting job isn't very shiny (more matte-like) unlike most customs I've seen. Am I using the wrong kind of paint? Or do you get that pretty shiny look by adding some sort of top coat when you're done? I can post a picture if needed, but right now my camera has a dead battery. Any suggestions would be really welcome.
