FYI Update: I was just unsatisfied with the way the 5th coat of satin looked. It didn’t look bad, just “meh.”

I took one of the boards to my painter and he suggested block sanding with 800 grit and giving it a couple more coats with semi gloss this time. I did the 6th coat today. I’ll give it a 7th and that’s it. Enough already! I want to get the truck finished and be driving it for the Spring and Summer.
