Shiny Interior Paint

Nearly all of the cover cars in Import Tuner magazine have some of their interior painted with some kind of paint that makes it real shiny and looks like figerglass...i want to know what kind of paint they are using or how they get it so shiny looking? It looks awesome

All the ones that you see on the cover of mags is in most cases just gell coated and sanded then cleared. I have mine all done and that is how they did mine I payed like $2500.00 for the whole car so....... Id check around a little though I am sure other guys have it done different. Hope that helps you some
