Someone is interested in having me make Koto instrument stands. After the cabinetry I've been doing lately, these look pretty simple. Does the shiny black finish have a name so I can look up how it's done? tia - Nigel

I achieve this using automotive materials and techniques--multiple coats of sprayed lacquer, wet sanded between coats, followed by multiple coats of clear lacquer also wet sanded. After final coat, wet sand with finer grades of wet paper, followed by automotive rubbing and polishing compounds.

Lacquer - applied in many coats

Epoxy has moxie, But lacquer is blacquer.
