TK2233 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 Any luck with getting the Rustoleum Pro-Enamel in the UK? I've tried and come up totally dry To be honest though, I'd prefer Krylon H2O since it's way glossier. But I can't get that either Really looking for it in super-glossy Black for a Stealth Trooper helmet. All I can get over here is Krylon Fusion, but that's nowhere near as shiny. Any ideas anyone?

Fusion: Spray 1 coat and wait for 7 days. Then, wipe clean and spray another coat. Let it sit for at least 20-30 days, then wet sand with 1500 grit sandpaper. When dry, use a polishing compound and it will be glossy. Quote

Excellent, thanks Would you also agree with this: Gloss fusion is glossy if you know what you're doing. You put two good coats of fusion on, let them cure for 3-7 days. Then you wet sand the finish with 1500 grit, it should be perfectly smooth with a matte appearance. Then you buff it out with polishing compound. You will see yourself in the finish it will be that glossy. After 30 days apply a high quality, clearcoat safe (i.e. non stripping) wax. You're good to go. It's nice to have body shop professionals in the family to get tips and secrets from... I'm a total newb at this, so what polishing compound would you suggest? Quote

Somebody suggested an automotive polish, but I'll be using the NOVUS system... I wonder if anyone can elaborate for us?... Quote
