Yup,its kind of rare.Maybe around KL they sell it or Ace Hardware.

Right,metal polish is the key.Remember,proper wet sanding + carnauba wax + rubbing compound = MIRROR SHINE. brows.gif

Bro,its like this..

Re sand you panel with 500grit..
Smooth it with 1000 then...

Start to spray it with only 2 layers.
Then,smooth the surface with a 1500k grit.
Make sure you sand it only ONE way.Don't make swirl.

Apply rubbing compound to make the paint smooth and the color will turn out more bright.

Lastly,apply wax wax after 1 week or 2,to make sure that the paint are really dry.
The point of applying the wax is to make the surface looks more wet and shiny.
