[QUOTE="Gatoblanconz, post: 9842684, member: 14927"]Not sure about age but this is definitely antique. It's been painted black but is worn. He said he had painted it with black spray paint but that must have been a while ago. I found some almost black paint and did the top (which had been incorrectly been used as the bottom, it was sold upside down and was bare but grey timber on the top). I don't want to strip and sand this back to timber. I don't have the skills and technology to sand well. I am open potentially to stripping and repainting. But I'm thinking either touch it up or completely repaint. What do people think about colour and gloss level of paint? (after cleaning it). Should I put a wax on top after painting it?
