wtnhighlander Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 I think that particle board desk is a bit too far gone for spray paint to be of much help. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but i think its worth fixing rather than just throwing it away New ones is verry expensive and small I tried to watch some videos of wood filler,sanding,painting,spraying but i don't think it would work in my sutiation I just wanna give it a new fresh look but idk what to do at this point.

wtnhighlander Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 You can try soaking the exposed particle board with CA glue or epoxy, then apply a few coats of shellac and sand it until you have a smooth, hard surface. Then spray it black. The problem is that some of the edge banding looks like a laminate material, not wood veneer. The glue and paint may not stick.

Hmm what about the exposed wood behind the black in the pictures like is the shellac gonna solve this exposed wood or what Pff this desk is a mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krtwood Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Eh, my desk is in worse shape. The key is to keep it covered in crap. A little sharpie action will hide the worst of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
