I had wood trim. I painted it myself. I sanded it down with a 400 grit, then sprayed a total of 20 coats of glossy black paint, 20 coats of glossy clear coat. Throughout the process, I wet sanded with 2000 Grit sandpaper. It is very time consuming. To get a real good finish, you have to spray the clear coat at a certain distance.

If it's too close, it will drip. If its too far, it wont look smooth (smooth to the touch though). Also, you have to do this in a clean room or all the small particles flying around will catch onto the wet paint. I had no other place but to do this in my garage, in a box.



And for anyone interested in the "transformer" button. I just went online looking for the logo (mines the Autobot), shrinked it, cut it, then glued it. LOL

I had to slightly smudge some ink on the paper to darken it because it was way too white and stood out too much.

 

lol you just bought like sticker paper? or what
