DIY berger panel suggestions? Hello all, I just recently bought a berger panel that's flat black. I want to paint it semi gloss black, but know next to nothing in regards to doing so. Anyone recommend a book or suggestions that teaches me how to do it right? I called around local paint and body shops, most are quoting $200. I think I can do it myself.

this is how i did mine
wet sand it with 400 grit
same process but with 1000 grit and bit of dish soap to get rid of grease
good rinse
dry with hair blower so no lint is left over
and apply complete LIGHT COATS at about 10 inches away of satin black KRYLON for plastics
light coats are the key

You can clear over it. They make clear coat that is specific for flat, matte and gloss type color paint.
I did mine and my wife's at the same time and where I didn't clear mine and did on her's, you can tell a difference. Mine has faded and her's still looks good.
