I often notice on many model traction engines that the outer rims and strakes are painted a very nice gloss grey,

Would this just have been a standard gloss arfix type paint ?

When my late father entered his Minnie in the ME exhibition in I think 1980 he was a bit miffed that he lost points for doing this. His reasoning was rust prevention but the judges deemed it unprototypical. You decide.

He did use a gloss paint from Precision Paints, sorry can't remember the shade.
