Default NOT a painter .. ping: Nailshooter, et al

Not a "painter", don't play one on TV, and can only be reasonably
certain about one color, "Black" ... sometimes.

Looking for input:

I need to paint a poplar/birch ply, 3' x 4' "Presentation Plaque" to
match the last link below.

Here is the patient:

My plan:

1. Crank up the HVLP sprayer and spray a couple of coats pf BIN

2. Sand lightly in between where needed.

3. Spray what? Now I'm at a loss.

The client wants the plaque to be "black" like the last photo in the pdf
file. After discussion with him again this morning, we settled upon the
concept of "satin" (he doesn't want it to look "wet") ... no problem there.

Here was his example:

Don't want to make a Federal case out of this, but I only want to do it
once, so recommendations/ideas as far a type of paint, number of coats,
flat black base coat(s) with use of a final clear coat, etc.?

I have to deliver this puppy Monday morning.

Any input is mucho appreciated (Wabbut ... hope you are not too es
spensive.)

And .... yes, I HATE PAINT/PAINTING/ANY THING PAINTING!

Thanks,
