Last night after work I took some time to sand down the base with 220, 320 and 500 grit sandpaper, then slapped black on it. After that dried, sanded with 1000 grit then repainted. At some point today will resand and repaint, then clearcoat with poly. I want this to be shiny, but I worry sprays may inhibit the wood breathing and expanding/contracting.[ATTACH=full]88092[/ATTACH]
