Hey all. I am wanting to build a computer desk, but wasn't sure what paint would best produce a good Flat or Satin Black finish.
Was curious if anyone has ever painted their desk in either satin or flat black.
The wood I would be using is just regular birch plywood.
I was tied between using either of the two below, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.
1. Minwax PolyShades - Classic Black Satin Stain and Polyurethane ( http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-202061451/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053 )
2. Rust-Oleum - Painter's Touch Flat Black General Purpose Paint ( http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-25ecodZ5yc1v/R-100121945/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053 )
The two above state that no primer is required. I'm ignorantly stupidly braindead when it comes to painting. So I'm not sure if using a primer helps much on wood as long as it sticks.
Thanks for any suggestions.
