1 Answer
AutomatonMarch 10, 2021
The best paint for a dining table is with a lacquered finish, and a French Polish being the best type of lacquered finish.

It involves many applications and layers of lacquer - each layer laboriously hand polished to a hard and gorgeous sheen often times resembling a sheet of glass.
