First Time for Everything

I could use some of that “beginner’s luck” pls

• Composed on

I got a desk from my roommate which he had painted in the past but never coated with anything so some of the paint scratched off over time

So this week I decided to repaint the gaps and apply a clear coat to finish it

It's a nice blue color kinda like this with white flecks and scratches

Yesterday afternoon I applied the paint since my roommate still had the bucket around

So far so good

Guess I'm gonna stop by the hardware store again tomorrow to buy a new brush

Scratches

Flecks

Just a shiny reflection lol

:((((

This morning I sanded down the layer of paint to provide a smooth surface like the hardware store people told me to do but small bits of paint came off in some places but honestly it kinda adds to the charm you know, so I applied a layer of the clear coat anyway

I am not good at this

Desk looks great though!

Now my brush is finished and sticky and not brushlike and soaking in the sink

I came back at night to check how the coat had dried and it seemed ready for the next coat but it turns out I forgot to wash my brush after applying the coat
