I used a beautiful piece of Birds Eye Maple to re-do the dash and console pieces for my antique Fiat, and I'm in need of some advice on a finishing product.
The veneer is glued to MDF for the dash and glove box cover and for the console, 9mm ply. I want to apply a clear gloss finish and buff it to a very high gloss. The question is what should I use.
I have a touch-up spray gun, but I don't know what I should apply. I've done research on Automotive, 2-part clear coats, Ureathanes, Spar Varnish, Marine finishes, etc. ... and all I am now is confused.
I've put in heaps of hours bending, gluing, drilling and smoothing, and now I'm just worried that all of that could be undone with one final wrong choice in a finishing product.
Does anyone have any recommendations that would be helpful, and give me the long-lasting, and beautiful results I'm hoping for? Many thanks for a response.
