Special-k is correct on the paint. Mine is painted with base coat/clear coat. After the paint was put on, I thought this don't look all that great, but after the clear coat, the whole thing just popped, what a difference. My wood also came out of the top of a barn, had been air dried for 5-6 years. It was 5/4 and we plained it down to 3/4's. I install the gas fill on the inside of the box and also eliminated the hold down bolts, I believe it gives it a cleaner look and it's a little different.
