meh i still think painting looks cooler than shining, paint is more permanent, doing the plastic body colour looks sweet.

I have painted the top part of the airbox and a few other plastic bits in the engine bay.
A few coats of plastic primer then Duco touch up paint in a can from autobarn.
It's only acrylic but is galaxy without metal flake
Topped it with six coats of acrylic clear coat (also autobarn)

Also done switches and cigarette lighter on the oval shaped centre piece of the dash
