Thanks!
It come down to a question of hardness vs. sheen on the surface. If you want a surface with moderate wear characteristics but a low sheen, use flat paint topped with a satin urethane. These can be alkyd or waterborne. For priming I would use an enamel undercoater, which is designed to combine easy sanding with high build. Makes it easier to sand the surface smooth. If you want to come by the store I work at, I can get you a good deal on what you need. But it is in Texas. :-) JeffW. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
