I used gloss on my track and would not recomend it. Looks good in pictures, but has too much glare in person. Sometimes it is hard to see the turn markers. I would recommend gloss for the cars though.

B and Q will mix small tester pots of emulsion. They have a good selection of greys to choose from
and one pot will easily paint a track.

If I was to use a enamel based paint could use a silicon tire instead of the plastic ones

I read somewhere in the MAGracing Forum that some people have used Plasti Dip spray paint. I bought the grey color - which ended up looking much darker. It does not have any glare and it provides extra traction.

You can see some of the paint on my table that I'm building in the Stow Away Tables discussion thread.

Here's a link to the Plasti Dip products web page:
