Now we get to the really fun part: applying the final coat of paint. Here is where all the work comes together and the results can truly pop. For these I applied a few coats of gold metallic, silver metallic, and bright orange spray paint. A final coat of clear gloss to protect it would be good as well.

And that's it. Let it completely dry for a day and then place it on your desk.
