Hi All,
I'm sure there must be loads somewhere, but I've had a quick search and not come up with much.
Does anyone have any videos / guides about good quality painting techniques for a glass like finish?
There must be some in project threads so if you can point me in your direction it would be much appreciated...
Thanks all,
EssJay

I did see a link in one of the project announcements for a "piano finish". I've had a quick search and I can't find it. As I recall the guide was for someone making speakers.
A google for speakers and "piano finish" got this, hope it helps:

I just painted my cab with Rustoleum high gloss black paint, looks amazing. Not piano black, because I didn't want to re-laminate the sides.

I think there are a couple of videos created by Ond. Maybe in his retro build thread?
