Similar product to poly to put over paint?
javeryh:
I am trying to get a very very smooth finish on my MDF cabinet - something that you'd get with 3 or 4 coats of poly over stained wood. I definitely want to avoid the bumps that paint has when you touch it.
I have heard that spraying on the paint is quite difficult to do evenly if you don't have any experience (I guess at some point I'll have to get experience though, right?) Anyway, if I roll on the paint using a high quality roller is there something similar to poly but not exactly like it that I can add over the paint that will give me the finish I desire? I'm open to suggestions...
Thanks.

The only way to get the glass like paint job is spray, wet sand, repeat. If you know somebody that has an auto paint shop maybe they would paint the cab for you there. Then you might get a glass like coat.

DO you need a special kind of paint? Can Behr paint work? How do you wet sand? Just dip the sandpaper in water? Ack... time for some google/wiki investigation I guess...

While following up on another thread I came across this item. It is expensive but it sounds like just what you are looking for. http://woodcraft.com/family.aspx?familyid=4140
