I've found using Automotive Polishing compound works a treat when getting a smooth, reflective finish on spray paint. I actually used it for my R1TK Bucket and it truly makes it look like a production piece. Just make sure to buff it really good. This is the brand I use: Meguiars Polishing Compound. Thanks for the info! I have used some polish that I had on hand. What do you use when you buff it? I was thinking a microfiber towel by hand? Any better method? 4 hours ago, ukswrath said: Hey Aaron, long time no see. I have a couple of Derrek's buckets. Nice work on yours Yeah, it's been a while.

Just use a polish sponge to rub it in, then use any towel (I honestly prefer to use an old shirt) to buff it out. Just anything that has a good grip and won't slip on the surface.
