I bought this inexpensive IKEA table to use in my eat-in kitchen: DOCKSTA Table - IKEA
To improve the looks of the cheap base (and to complement the all-white kitchen), I spray-painted the base with flat white enamel Rustoleum paint before assembling the table.
Now that I've been using it for a few weeks, I'm discovering that the spray-painted surface is a bit rough. Dust and hair catch on the paint and are very difficult to wipe off.
To create a smoother surface, I'm thinking that sanding the surface of the base with an ultra-fine sandpaper might be a solution, but I'm concerned about rubbing right through the thin veneer of white paint that I applied (and having it look terrible). An added concern are the contours of the base (which will add complexity if sanding).
Any suggestions on how to create a smooth surface at this stage?
