Another lengthy step, but much easier than the previous one

- Apply paint to the whole table (the part that will receive the chessboard can be omitted)

- Depending on your decorating tastes, lacker can also be used.
Make sure you test the lacker on a hidden part of the table (the underside for instance) to make sure this is really the finish you want.
The lacker not only adds additional shine, but protects the paint from liquids (remember this is also going to be a coffee table)

After much painting and drying, the table is nearly ready !
