1. Clean the table with Trisodium phosphate cleaner.

   
   

2. Add three parts glaze to one part latex paint to create a top glaze.

   
   

3. Apply the glaze to the table top, then allow to dry.

   
   

4. Place three strips of painter's tape on the table. Remove the middle strip (figure A) to create a border for a faux wine barrel metal band.

   
   

5. Wearing a dust mask, use a metal finish spray paint to paint the border and allow to dry.

   
   

6. Remove the tape.

   
   

7. Place a bottle on the band, then trace a half circle (figure B) to create the look of a band.

   
   

8. Apply silver paint to create a shade under the band (figure C).
