Vinyl wrapping a desk?

[Bryan Kortez]

I have a desk similar to the one in the picture below. I want to change my setup to a black and white theme, but instead of spending £100 on a new desk setup, I am thinking of vinyl wrapping my desk with a gloss white. Has anyone tried this before, any tips?

OK, so the idea of wrapping the desk doesn't look like it's going to work. I'll probably go down the route of painting. Any ideas which paints would work best and be resistant to scratching? I use a a large surface pad on my desk for my keyboard and mouse, so the movement of my mouse won't cause any wear.
