I'm working on the Spool Cabinet and intend to prefinish the individual pieces prior to assembly. Since I'm new to spray finishing, I'm very confused as to method. Hubby owns the HVLP guns etc as he sprays motorcycle components regularly, so actual application isn't a problem.

1) Many of the pieces will require finish on all 8 sides. How do I do that? Do they have to be hung or can they lay flat some how and do one side and then another?

2) How many light spray coats are needed to equal 2 brushed coats in thickness?

Thanks for all your help.


PS I expect to be using General Finishes High Performance Top Coat.
