What kind of paint should I use to paint a wooden desk? Would either high gloss or semi-gloss be more durable than the other? Is there any kind of protective coat I can put on it to help protect it from scratches?
Edit:
In case anyone ever has the same quesiton I had, I found what I was looking for.
Minwax makes a product called Polycrylic. It is a clear protective coating that can be used over paint. I just put one coat on a piece of painted scrap wood, and I was impressed by the results. Seems very durable. And it's water-based, so cleanup is easy.
