I don't have a lot of experience painting glossy car bodies but I'm happy with how the black on the body panels has turned out. It did not photograph well and looks terrible but is much better than it appears. I used Tamiya Laquer thinned with Mr. Color Leveling Thinner. I also used Tamiya Laquer for the gray on the frame and I've been very impressed with how it has held up to all the handling, no scuffing or rubbing off at all.
I think I'm going to decal the panels and gloss coat them (with Future) before adding them to the frame.
I'm really impressed with the fit of everything in this kit!
