My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Does anyone know how to get this super high gloss finish?

14 years ago
I would like to be able to get a crazy high gloss finish when I paint my next project. I really like the almost nail polish look of it. Is a special paint required? Is it followed with some type of final coat? Would this work for a table top?

    I think it mostly depends on the type of paint you use. We must have some designers around here that know for sure!

    My guess would be some kind of high gloss enamel sprayed on would be a good bet.

    Thanks, I was kind of thinking the same thing about the enamel. I just wonder what is used for the top coat... It just looks so nice. I really like it.
