Wow, that thing is going to be nuts!
Im nuts "so my wife says" so we will make a good pair
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Got my paints & been working on the smaller parts of the desk, wanted to double check the finish &
practice applying the paints before doing the bigger parts of the desk.
because of the deadly fumes in the basecoat & 2K/2pac clear, Im best doing it in 4 stages over the
space of 2 to 3 weeks.
im also short on space, so by painting the bottom sections & then letting them dry (harden) I can then
add the middle section back on top & paint that, same for the top section.
This is the box of paints, cant believe it cost me over £100 :O
should have stuck with vinyl, would have been less messy & a bit cheaper lol
Black Basecoat with thinners, 2K/2pac clear matte with hardener & thinners
this is the base & thinners to be mixed for the bottom coat/base
primed ready for painting, still needed cleaning down at this part
3 stages of basecoat black applied, still wet at this stage
while the basecoat was still tacky I applied the clear coat, because you cant sand the base & clear during any stages as it would alter the appearance of the finish,
the whole process has to be done within about 1hrs from start to finish with no room for
errors :O
From wet to dry, the photos will show how the finish changes over day
stuck them back on the desk to see how it looks & try imagine the whole desk painted
out of everything iv done so far, this painting has been the hardest part, I hope the extra effort was worth it in the end
What do you all think to the colour so far?
Im happy for now, but really need to see it all done & with some red added
