Right. I'd suggest Darren pick up a book on auto finishing. The final
sanding prior to buffing levels the surface to a glass smooth finish.
For lacquer finishes I use grits on the order of 800-1500 with soapy
water acting as a lubricant. Be extra careful at the edges. Epoxy
behaves similarly to lacquer; make sure both are *fully* cured - I wait
at least 30 days before "color sanding," as it's called.
