Hi all,



I got a demand to finish a model with polyester. To have a better idea about the finish here is link of a picture of a chair with the required finish:

the only thing I know is that this is an ordinary wood chair covered with... glass reinforced polyester with silk screen flower pattern...



I've little or no experience with polyester finishing, so I'm looking for some place to start, book, web or other basic info that might get me on track.



All info is greatly appreciated
