It's been done in cellulose Jamie, the man who worked in the shop where i got the paint from, said it already had lacquer in the paint so we didnt bother putting any on afterwards.. They do look really dull,that's why they need a buff.

What you reckon?

Tbf for a first go at spraying you have done well lads. Black isnt the easiest colour to paint either Fair play for having a go yourselves, hopefully a good buff with some compound will bring them up nicely
