    Janine: I do a lot of work in resin inlay. The finish depends greatly
    on the resin itself. What resin are you using? Two part epoxy, or
    some other resin. 

    I take my resin inlay down to 600 grit waterproof sandpaper. After
    the sides have been treated with either a brush finish or with
    polishing papers, I spray it with matt Krylon spray to seal the
    resin and pop the colors. You can use an acrylic spray which would do
    the same thing, except make it shinier.
