High Gloss Mirror Finish on a Curbside Cabinet | Furniture Makeover

By letter2self on January 3, 2023



Watch me take an abandoned piece of furniture and transform it into a super glossy modern designer cabinet.

In this video, I try using Hollandlac Brilliant 98 by Fine Paints of Europe for the very first time. It’s an extremely glossy and premium oil enamel paint that’s very difficult to spray flawlessly, and you’ll get to see how much I struggle with it. Thankfully, I’m able to achieve a nice finish in the end, thanks to a wet sanding and polishing technique that I learned from Kayla Payne: https://www.instagram.com/paintedbykaylapayne/
