Ok here is wat i did so far with my test peace. I am using gloss white. I find that lighter colors are easier to work with then dark colors here is my result. I did a thick coat and let it dried and then after that I started to do thin coats. I came up with these because i was think one thick coat will cover the area and will be easy to sand and smooth. Also once the thick coat finished drying the thin coats would bring out the shine I think. This pic was taken in the basement with a dimm light I am amazed with gloss white.
