Hi Ryhs, I looked online and found a product out your way called Plasti-Kote Super Clear Acrylic, it is a UK based company and states it can be used on ABS plastic. Hope that’s a good start for you.
Thanks, I already use that but, as being in the UK weather is never the best. plus I’m looking to move to airbrush application.
Thanks for you help.
The floor product you’re looking for is more commonly known among modelers as “Future Floor Polish” – If you search for that online you may be able to find an up-to-date list of regional equivalents…

I’ve heard good things about that product but never tried using it before, I really like glossy looks too, to me it’s more realistic than flat coats, after all if you go out and look at your car it’s probably pretty glossy if you keep it in even half good condition.
As I said I haven’t tried that product but I’ve found that Mr. Super Clear UV Cut(gloss) spray

is a very good way to get a gloss finish. I’ve managed to get the shield of a MG Sazabi to the point where it was somewhat reflective.
Go to B&Q and buy plastikote clear, it’s gloss but it’s enamel tho. Otherwise do you have a Modelzone near you? They always have what I need and their staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.
I posted this above to another question but it may be of help
I use artists fixative which you should be able to get from any art store. Its the stuff you use to spray on drawings and photos to protect them. I tend to use the matt version but have used a gloss version and it was quite shiny!
