Nice work! We use it if I need something coated and don't have the time to have it sprayed at my body shop. I've coated quite a few canoes and kayaks with it. It's a great hard urethane. After it's cured for a few days wetsand it to at least 1200, then buff it to what ever gloss you want. We use automotive rubbing compounds followed by swirl removers. Standard stuff. You can buff either by hand or with power buffers. You had the right idea.
