Our daughter wants us to giver her desk a bit of a makeover.
She wants it black with coloured stars (why ? .. don't ask me)
I'm sure matt black or maybe a eggshell finish paint would be Ok for the main paintwork .. am I correct ?
Regarding the coloured stars, I can either buy or even make a couple of stencils, then simply dab on the paint.
Would artists' oil paint (the type in the wee tubes) do for this. I've seen boxes of 12 coloured tubes for £3-£4 which would be enough of each colour and much cheaper than buying conventional paint. There used to be a model shop nearby, which sold those wee small pots for painting model aircraft etc. but sadly that closed a few months ago. i don't know anywhere else that has those pots, I think they were branded Humbrol.
thank you
