Man, who would think that it'd be a bad idea to paint over wood grain and then lacquer it, removing the tiniest of porousness in the process and making it slippery as fuck when any volume of water gets on it?!
In season tournament is alright, but the fucking courts are a hazard to the players. More slips in the small sample of games than a lingerie store
When you paint wood it lessens the texture. Throw lacquer on top and you have one slick surface.
