While browsing I hit upon
http://www.extazaweb.sk/nascarpapermodels/index.htm

I checked the FAQ

But nothing about the paper weight or glue or what tools  to bend
paper or if you use glossey(?) paper or spray a coating after,  if
anybody could point me in the right direction please

LOL! th3 finish on those is on the paper, normaly you print 'en out. I
use white (Elmers) or yellow (Titebond) to gew 'em together, with my
daughter I used glue sticks with some sucess. it's a lot of fun google
free "Cardstock models" for even more fun!

I use 110 lb. white card stock to print these.  The sheets run through
my color printer fine- it is one of those with an angled 'stack' in the
rear and feeds through fairly directly.

I have an old HP laserjet works well with up to 90# (the specks say 80#
max) Funny we baoth do the same thing.. I also have an old Citizen 24
pin with all the color you'd want.. I spray a couple light coats of
lacquer ( no I haven't tried the water based stuff ) make it about 10
times stronger and "weather" resistant!

Happy Flying!
