the first rule of projects is double your time estimate and triple your costs. the second rule is be prepared to exceed the first rule. looks gorgeous though, I cant imagine painting anything gloss black, too stressful!

Re: My projects
Tell us about the paint: Mfr? Base/clear? Single stage? Part number of clear (if used)? Urethane? Acrylic enamel? Lacquer (heaven forbid)?

Re: My projects
Most paints today are formulated for 1-day paint & prep. 3 weeks is a little long. You may have a time of it if the urethane (I assume it's urethane) has cured beyond easy sanding. It will let you know.
In any event, it's time to get started...
