Writing desk painted black
I have, in other posts, shared that I really like Rust-Oleum painters touch when using black paint. Here is yet another piece done in that paint. It gives such a great finish, goes on easy, and dries nice and hard in a timely manner. I’ve had other blacks stay tacky and soft indefinitly, a problem I’ve never experienced with Rust-Oleum.

Just started refurbishing furniture. I absolutely love it. I check your tutorials frequently because they are great!!! Love your work. I am from NC, but would love to visit your store in California. Maybe one day. Thanks for all of your tips.
Nice lines on that piece! Looks great in black!
I found a nice desk with black color and It gives such a great finish. Came across this article by chance and must admit I liked it…:-)
When distressing pieces that are a lighter wood such as maple and pine, would you recommend black or white paints to bring out the distressed wood color?
Love all of your work and the tips you give are great. Thank you!
I’d go with a darker color to give more of a contrast. When white is used the distressing barely shows up.
