Tips on painting

[Howie]

Since it's gotten cold again here I must resort to thinking about canoes instead of working on them. I remember someone in these Forums once clued me in on a great article someone wrote on her technique for painting canoes. She had great results with mirror-like finishes. I remember reading the article but have since lost the link. Anyone know what & who I'm talking about?
