       shine or not to shine??

       Hi,Im painting a 3/4" Michael Holden traction engine in maroon
       and Im not sure about the shiny finish?
       I think it looks a bit 'toy like' if you know what I mean?
       I dont know weather to go over the lot in satin enamel or just
       the black?
       Any suggestions please?
       Thanks
       Terry

       A judicious overspray with a clear semi-gloss might make it look
       some better, but regular use will go a long way to knocking the
       gloss back as well.

       Given time and use, it won't stay shiny for very long.
