However, I have an old metal tanker desk that is painted that traditional gray you always find, and I looked into stripping it down to the bare steel. I was STRONGLY advised not to do so, as it would no longer be protected from the inevitable oxidation process and would rust much more quickly.<br /><br />So my vote is for black. Whatever you decide, I have no doubt you'll create something beautiful - you always do! <br /><br />ChristiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481334885690177821.post-89268892684419130282010-06-21T14:44:06.778-04:002010-06-21T14:44:06.778-04:00Not sure about the steel, but I have the SW Creamy...Not sure about the steel, but I have the SW Creamy in my house and LOVE it!!mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14679058884116299714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481334885690177821.post-14043175733995503842010-06-21T14:08:35.990-04:002010-06-21T14:08:35.990-04:00I have a question about your fab new desk.

I usually prefer to spray paint furniture to get an ultra smooth finish but there's such a limited color palette with spray paint and I don't own a fancy spray machine. If I knew I could get such a smooth finish with a roller I would feel so much better about my color choice for my bedside table project. Since you're right in the middle of it now I thought you'd have an opinion one way or the other. Thanks! Also, I have to say I really love the steel, but it's your chest and black will be lovely as well!!Aimee@ the Functional Spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00181784668734041721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481334885690177821.post-32564343778236221352010-06-21T12:48:14.298-04:002010-06-21T12:48:14.298-04:00Hello,
