@Grendels. Thanks for the vid, but it looks a bit advanced for me at the moment.

merseajohn and PpigP, I was thinking about just using black tamiya with thinner, but that's probably not going to give great results. I think I'll either go with Mig or flory. I know one of the sites I order from stocks flory's stuff.

Might do away with my Pledge floor wax and get some clear coats.

Punk, why do you say to use a  clear gloss? Why not clear matt? Does it make a difference? I definately don't want this bird looking glossy.

Thanks for the feedback guys, really appreciate it! 8)
