[QUOTE="96civ, post: 4730271, member: 564776"] Painted about 4 coats of gloss black, and 4 coats of clear. I then wetsanded starting out with 1500 grit, then to 2000 grit. I got it to to look somewhat like the following pics throughout the surface of the box. From these pictures you can see some flaws on the surface, I attempted to sand those out, and got most of it smooth as silk.
