Ha! So true! So true! Except that I have a carpet layout and from a standing view and with such bright paint finishes, it's noticeable in a less authentic way. Also, I bought these for some close-up photography for humorous RR and food vignettes I'm planning some day.
Of course, now you've made me think of a spray of dull coat I have as a possibility that can be "undone" if it doesn't work.
However, I'd like to keep this particular commemorative truck shiny. Another truck with a single rubbed spot is also a limited edition with a really, really nice black paint sheen.
I think I'll try the floor wax for starters with just this brown truck, as floor cleaner was in my shopping list anyway. LOL.
It's going to rain heavily all day. So, I'll grab supplies but wait for a sunny day to try it out.
Thanks all,
