I am really getting sold on Mission Model Paints the more I work with them. When sprayed over a primed part, the paint is very durable. This particular color dries to a flat finish. If you want a glossy finish, you can either mix in a few drops of Mission's Gloss Coast as you spray, or just gloss coat everything after you are finished building - they come out looking the same. The color is a good match for doing a 70's Tyrrell F-1 car (which was my intent when buying it).
