How do you get the finish that good mate? I cant get mine that shiny when i do it.

I do -

Sand down with wet and dry proberly like 400 / 600 grit

Prime about 2 - 3 coats

Rub down with 1500 wet and dry under the tap.

Paint about 3 coats

Lacquer

But doesnt look that shiny?? am i doing something wrong or not doing something for that matter.
