Mind sharing what type of finish process and products you used?

The finish is UV Poly. There is an amber tint in it to give it a vintage look and soften the white of the bindings. It was wet sanded and buffed to a really nice shine. I have to confess... Although it was my build I had a company in Vancouver Canada spray it for me. I wanted to finish it myself but I live overseas in SE Asia at the moment and it is impossible to find finish products or have them shipped here.
