First Cabinet - Lacquer question
« on: March 17, 2016, 04:41:24 am »
Hi,

I'm doing my first cabinet (MDF wood).  At the moment my plan is to:

- Light sand/wipe
- Prime
- Light sand/wipe
- Prime
- Assemble
- Spray 'x' times
- Apply adhesive stickers on side
- Lacquer (unsure what type or how many coats)

I'm looking for a smooth finish, where the stickers have a gloss effect over them and cannot be picked off etc.

Is the above the best way to go about this? 

Thanks
