i wanna refurbish my stabwood sleeve and I want to finish it with glossy coat
so basically I just sand with 400 grit sanding paper( to remove stain due the sleeve actually not coated) and coat with glossy spray paint ( technically what I planning)
so in between the process, what did I miss? should I use lower grit sanding paper? multi layer the coat etc?
thx guys, in detail guide really welcome!

I’d avoid finishing with a glossy spray type finish, and look into finishing with a hemp/linseed/coconut oil wipe. Also, you’ll probably want to do steps with the sandpaper, starting with a 120 or 220 grit, and working up to at least 800 grit. I’d apply finishing oil in between changing grits, wiping it on with a rag and letting it dry for a few hours each time.
I haven’t done this on a stabwood mod, but have finished many pieces of furniture using this method, and I’d think the principals are the same.
I see,thanks for the reply!
You don't need to finish it with a glossy coat if you buy some micromesh polishing pads and just work your way up through the grits
issue is, I have sweaty palm and it tend to leave stain on my wood. 😅 that's why I decided to go with light glossy coat,so I can just wipe the stain out without need to polishing back time to time to remove the stain
