I have a question relating to the paint finish on plastic models. Is it preferable to have either a matt or gloss finish on 00 gauge rolling stock? I seem to find that factory-finished plastic models represent a paint finish more akin to matt, and when a re-painted model finished in gloss is put alongside proprietary examples, it is noticeably incongruous (i.e. it is too shiny). I am pondering whether to simply use matt paint, or gloss paint, the latter coated in a matt varnish. Any advice would be gratefully received.
