Here are the Sherwin Williams codes for Sapphire Sparkle. The industrial enamel is labeled "gloss" finish but the paint is really more like satin-semi.

Looking good. Just wondering why you went with marine finish? Is gloss too glossy? My Sherwin Williams couldn't mix the Sapphire Sparkle for some reason. They said it would be to bright so I went to the independent Pratt and Lambert that my "normal" hardware/paint store (where I buy all my Valspar laytex) sent me. He knew how to mix it and it's about 98%-99% the same as the flat Behr paint swatch. Just wonder if they could of mixed it using a different finish like I suggested.

The SW guy said that the marine enamel was the only oil based that the sapphire sparkle would be able to be properly matched. The paint is spec'd as gloss but its not at all glossy, more of a satin finish.

Putting it back together a little bit at a time... ( finding the time is the real issue here ;) )

I chose to re-fab the ledger... it had gotten wet and shrunk up a bit.. pulling from the edges... I will be laminating it with the left over black laminate from my MAME cab project (eons ago as it seems).
