Yeah they're kinda dull and faded. That'* the effect I got when I used the krylon... duplicoat or whatever worked much better.

i agree with you haro. it DOES look nice (to me)

and i dont know why its not glossy... the stuff we used to gloss it was "dupli-color clear acrylic lacquer"

any suggestions to gloss it up? =)

That could be a tad too cold for that clear. I did mine in about 70 degrees, and very light humidity.
