I doubt it'll ever be totally "finished" but it's definitely getting there! They're putting my little DD to shame:







And the technical stuff: It took 5 coats to get it completely sprayed out. Unfortunately, it had some very heavy orange peal especially in sunlight due to using a primer gun. He wet sanded it with 1500 grit. It was finished off with a compound polisher to bring the texture under control. This was total overkill for a rustoleum paintjob, but it's still really impressive what can be done with such inexpensive paint. If you don't have access to a gun or compressor, you can get pretty good results using a tight nap roller. It's just all in the prepwork.
