   Just use a high gloss paint.I never heard of "Buffing" paint before.8/27

Answer 3

Did you use a gloss paint or a flat? This will make all the difference. I would try to go over it with a gloss finish to ad shine and seal the deal. However, waxing wood door and cabinets with car wax is a great way to make them shine and reduce prints.
