Um possibly fiberglass.....
Heres just a thought, but maybe since i put a picture of a fiberglass box within the thread that's what I'm trying to paint. But like i said. That's just a thought.

Its not the paint as much as it is the prep and what is done after you paint it. Even enamel can give a nice shine when its smooth enough. Base coat/clear coat urethanes or Lacquer with a clear coat will give you a finish like that. But its a lot of work if you are doing it by hand.

Right so far?

I suggest you get a book or something. These processes are simular to painting a car. I am not typing out all the steps. I need votes but not that bad Check youtube for how to videos.
