Like a car paint. It is sprayed and then baked. You can have gloss, satin or Matt finish. I have gloss white. It is normally the most expensive of the finishes. Some things are worth waiting for.

Just sprayed and left to dry. The drying is a chemical process. Called "2-pack" because they are 2 parts to the paint. The colour is in 1 tin, and the "hardener" is in another tin. You then mix them together and spray (or brush, if u like that finish). Car sprayers wont do it. The process is know as "polishing". Checkout the yellow pages. Trade price is $80-120/m2 .
