I think the best way to get the best finnish with this stuff is, every coat you put on, spray it on in a different direction!

Mike can get the finish done for you iirc,
As said above, if you go diy you have to spray each coat in a different direction, you get better wrinkles if you then put it in an oven!< gf wasnt to pleased though!
You can buy it from Frosts, made by VHT.
