Sprayed Matte Black

Matte black adds a touch of contemporary flair to our unfinished products. With this finish, there's a blend of understated elegance and modern vibe. It's just right for both home décor and fashion, offering a smooth transition from raw to refined.

What you'll need:

• Rust-Oleum Matte Black Spray - This stuff is super cheap and works great. A single can is enough for at least one piece, depending on the size. For most folks this is the go-to.
• Rust-Oleum Matte Clear Finish - You'll use this as a top coat on after the matte black has dried. This will provide extra protection without changing the look.

Directions:

1. Clean your piece to remove dust; compressed air is ideal.
2. Lay pieces flat on cardboard or newspaper, bottom side up.
3. Shake spray paint for at least a minute.
4. Evenly spray one side; drying can take 30 mins to 6 hrs, depending on conditions.
5. Flip and repeat.
6. Lightly sand dried sides with 220-320 grit sandpaper.
7. Apply a second, even coat and let it dry overnight.
8. Assemble legs into the top; optional dime-size glue will make it permanent.
9. Flip and level the table; sit on it to ensure stability.
10. Touch up any marks.
11. Apply Clear Matte Finish; it dries quickly.
12. Repeat step 11 for extra protection (recommended).
