I used the Duro spray on adhesive in the blue can.

I used regular paper. How did the photo paper turn out? Do you think the
photo paper is porous enough for the urethane to soak into. If it just
sits on the surface it will:
1 be too shiny
2 scrape off easily.
The edges and corners are areas of concern. What I did after I glued the
panel on was trim it back as tight as possible with an exacto knife to
prevent any overhand that could catch on anything and start a peeling
process. After the exacto knife, I found that the edge was a little
"white". I used a permanent marker to color the edge back to black.

Several. The trick to a nice satin and splattered type look is to put on
several VERY light coats. I sprayed the panels from about 3 foot away
almost misting the paper. If you "coat" it on like normal spray paint, it
will be too glossy. I did all the things they tell you NOT to do with
spray paint. Start and stop the nozzle over the work, etc.
