I wavered for a while this morning, thinking I would use oil paint instead of latex and acrylic top coat, but calls to Buchheit and ACE made up my mind because neither sells oil base paint that can be tinted. Oil is almost phased out,  but I’d hoped they’d have some low VOC version. They didn’t, so latex it is!

I’m sick to death of painting this desk, but it’s done except for one more coat on the keyboard tray, the door,  and the drawer front. I’m thinking I should leave it a week or so before applying a top coat. Latex dries in a few hours, but takes 30 days to fully cure. I can’t wait that long, but I can give it a week. I’ll use the week to work on the nightmare that is the “printer cabinet”. I pulled the green crap off the top of it, and if only they’d left it off, I wouldn’t have to deal with damaged finish. I’d always thought it was there to cover damage, but nope…just caused it. Anyway, my desk is painted,  and that’s about all I’ve accomplished today.
