[QUOTE="Willys46, post: 231846, member: 6536"] Auto clear works great. If I were you I would start sanding with 200 or 400 grit to get the paint off. then finish is toff with 600 grit. Find a sandable sealer form a Wood working store and make sure it is compatable with all kinds of paint. Some are specically for oils based. I cut is 50-50 with denatured alchol and put one coat on. It makes it shinny so you can see any imperfections. Sand again wit 400 up to 600. I put anthore coat of full strength sealer and sanded it back down with 400 to 600 grit paper. Then shoot it with 15 coats of clear. I know that sounds like a lot but when you start wet sanding it with 800 to 1500 grit paper it is realy easy to go through the finish on the sharp edges. Do as much sandding as you can with a Block. For the rounded section I used I density stroyphom. Ignor spelling. The block is maditiory..the blue int he laminet is harder then the wood and will make the stock realy wavey. If you have any questions feel free to pm me and I will give you my cell number.
