How to Paint a Roll-Top Desk
Using paint and glaze, this roll-top desk gets a cleaned-up look fit for a modern office.
In this Project you will:
Step 1: Sand the Surface and Apply the Base Coat
Sand the surface of the desk until smooth.
Remove the hardware, then apply the base coat with a 6 1/2" seamless foam roller, then allow to dry.
Step 2: Paint the Hardware
Paint the hardware using silver paint.
Step 3: Apply the Glaze and Reattach the Hardware
Mix several drops of violet and black tint into half a painter's bucket of latex glazing liquid.
Apply the glaze in small sections, then wipe off with cheese cloth.
Apply glaze to the hardware.
After the glaze is dry, reattach the hardware.
