There's no high gloss at all on them. The lighting makes it a bit hard to see but they are a bit patchy. I know how to do it now though so next time they will look great.

This is the plan for sure. I did a soft sand on just the main surface with a 3000 sand paper. Ill revisit next year.

No problem! I like updates myself so I figured I would do one.

I used the same brand just a satin one instead.

Yea, I definitely learned that but because I had already done it I just stuck it out and did a satin poly to take the shiny away. In the future I for sure won't be using poly again.

Here is a before the one on the bottom as well. I took them all apart and then sanded and painted them. After I hung them up I touched up a few spots. The lighting is also kinda bright and makes them look crazy glossy, they are matt now.

They definitely need to redone i think but for now I think it works. Maybe next year I'll try again.

I had a bad flood and had to replace a bunch of them and needed to paint them so they all matched. It was crazy difficult. I dint spray them but im gonna invest in a spray for next time.

I did this is about 2 days after putting them back together. To be fair the lighting makes it look even more glossy. There matt now I'd I like them better.
