I'm on a roll!!! Got the second coat inside the stand done (white semi-gloss outdoor), and got the first coat of paint on. I just used the paint pot tester I bought when I was picking the colors for the house walls. It's just a flat indoor paint. After 3 coats of this flat paint with light sanding between I will put 2 coats of satin finish polyurethane.
Looks like I will need to do some touch-up filling before I put the next coat of paint on.
