OK I have started painting my box black.

All of the peices are painted but are not finished.

Here is the question: Should I (A) Paint the box and not sand and paint and sand and paint and sand and paint it to make it like a mirror (about 12 hours of my work)

or

(B) leave it as it is, Shiny to the point that I can see my face in it from a foot away, but it is blurry and wavy.

I really want to hook up my w/c so I am leaning toward B, But the one panel that is closer than the others in terms of painting is looking good.

If I should go for (A), Do you have any suggestions on how I should go about doing this faster?

With a... do you have a power sander? that might make it faster im danm sure it would be faster..

otherwise B. so, A if you have a power sander, B if you dont.. heh.

Depends on the effect you are working for, and also if you want to do it right the first time. I really suggest that you get the mirror finish cause it looks real nice. Don't do something half assed just cause you wanna get your stuff together. You will regret it in the long run. Oh and a power sander will help :)
