Amrit, I'm not sure, but a separate test piece will answer your question if you have any of the paint left.

Really like the finish you have given this neat project. Lots of good ideas for all of us.

Awesome job. I had a question . I recently made a little toy box and painted it. I was wondering if someone can tell me if I can put a polyure.... sealer , and I if I do will it stick on satin paint ?
thanks

Dan, I used a Porter Paints brand Porter Guard Fast Dry Alkyd Enamel in Satin finish. It's not fast dry, though. I waited 1-2 days between coats and then waited one week for final assembly/setup in the room. Since its an oil-based enamel it is more durable than latex, but it took about twenty days after setup in the room to fully cure. Rolled it on. High odor too so use ventilation.

Very nice!

Very impressive. What did you use for a finish on this? My younger brother loves black, he's asked me to do up a desk for him, but haven't really investigated the finish side of things yet and this looks like a suitable solution! Great job on the desk, very stylish, yet functional, the shelf looks great.
