I used some carbon look tape to cover the old paintings of the shelf and to make it look ""Cool"". This carbon tape is a leftover from my car as i uset it in the interrior of it, so basicly free for this purpose. Cost to the car was about 15$, but its not nessesary to apply to this shelf.

After cleaning make sure there is no bumbs or damps you don't want there to be. Believe me. They will show up from under the tape or paint if you are painting it.

With this i suggest that you use a normal hair dryer to make the tape more flexiple for the installation and to make the details of the shelf if it has got any. My goal was that the lid would be flat but the tape fell to the carving that is there and i just had to do it. Didn't have enough tape to make new one. So remember. The tape is made from plastic and plastic is flexiple if heated.

Also get a sharp knive for this to cut the tape and if there is any air bubbles you can make those disapear. Just make small cut to the air bubble and apply some heat and press it with finger and it will disapear. (pic4 and 5)
