Re: White Vika AMON DESK TOP

You may be able to find a paint that is made to go directly over the enamel-like finish of the Amon top - check your local paint or home improvement store. Because of the glossy paint finish, you might have to scuff up this finish so that it will accept new paint. This can be done using a fine grit (220 or higher) sandpaper; steel wool may work also, but you'd need a single or double zero grade for this. Again, the folks you buy the paint from can help you with this.
