Mirror finish: wet-sand cured resin from 1000 to 3000 grit, rinse often, then polish with fine compound and a soft pad. Seal with wax only after scratches vanish.

For 1/24 automotive detailing, choose a quiet compressor with a tank, moisture trap, and precise regulator to hold 12-20 PSI for smooth primers, metallics, and fine trim work.

Fix: Let the clear coat cure, then wet-sand with 3000-6000 grit, polish, and recoat in light mist-to-wet passes. Thin correctly and spray 10-15 cm from the model.

Layered masking, plotter-cut templates, and low-tack films help isolate razor-sharp sponsor graphics, fades, and pinstripes while preventing paint bleed.

Pearl and candy mixes give resin car replicas scale-correct depth: tint clear resin in thin passes, test on scrap, and record pigment ratios to keep panels consistent.
