I used sandpaper to sand off all the old paint. I was paranoid that the old paint was somehow toxic so I had my HEPA filter running and used my dust extractor to get all the dust out of the way.

I painted the piece with black casein paint which is made from milk. I didn't make it myself this time, but maybe I will next time.

I'm an engineer (apparently) that specializes in media based computer systems and large storage (Terabytes). I went to school for painting and I like to make things.
