I could have saved that finish if it didn't have all of the small details on it that didn't want to look like a sand casting. I shouldn't have installed all of the detail stuff. I have done that finish before on a bare naked turret by rubbing and sanding down the rough high texture, and applying a few coats of thick paint to smooth/level the surface down a bit . I just goofed up --------- big time.
