Upol 2 part automotive clear. Mix the 4:1 clear, put it directly into the air brush. Spray a tac coat just to get some tooth on the paint job. After the tac coat is dry(ish) do a heavy spray but not so heavy it drips. It will have a glass like finish but will have some orange peel. Once it's dry do a light wet sand starting at 600 grit repeat from there all the way up to 3000 grit. Graduate to an automotive scratch remover with a dremel and a polishing bit. Finish off with an automotive polish compound, then automotive wax. Sounds like a lot, but moves faster than you'd think. The quality will be mirror. If you do not sand it, it will still look good but the orange peel in the clear will betray the scale. Edit here is the type of clear I use This is a bigger size than I typically get but if you are careful not to accidentally get some of the hardener into the clear, you will never have to buy clear again. If you do get a tiny bit in there, it will harden a bunch of it or all of it. So gotta be careful not to mix them in their containers. This is much more expensive of a size than I get
