    We took it apart- scuff sanded it with a sanding pad, Put together a poor mans spray booth in the garage with plastic, a box fan and a filter. then spray bombed it and put it back together and drilled the feet for some 4" Harbor Freight wheels- for better speed and cornering. Hope you like it

    You're so "eco friendly green" recycling that desk. Pretty cool. I like it and it'll be nice for your daughter for sure.
