So, I've come up with an idea for a 'music workstation'.
Basically a computer desk with a section built in for some rack mount equipment, a cubby for a computer, and some shelves and drawers.
I'm thinking that for this I'd actually like to have the whole thing done 'black'.
My current mass produced desk is particle board with what I can only assume is black melamine on it.
My question is, "Can I paint the plywood for this black, and have it last"?
Just not sure how to make a black cabinet out of plywood and have the black parts stay black over time.
What finish would you recommend? Any desk, regardless, of color, I guess would have wear issues with the finish.
Thanks in advance for your advice!
