The cabinet refinishing.
#12

Thanks for the compliment,
I have to admit I did have to sand it after the top clear coats. I went up to 1000 grit then used a plastic polishing compound ( cant think of the name right now) on it and waxed it. It was very shiny like that after spraying but the finish wasn't smooth enough.
That is one thing I have to practice at is getting the right consistency of laquer and the right air pressure to hopefully get to where there is hardly any sanding after the last clear coat. Cause, man.. is it a lot of sanding on a floor model like that. Icon_eek
