I need to build some utility grade furniture for a kids room...so for the first time in my woodworking journey I am going to go cheap and fast and use sheet goods with some paint rather than my usual glued up panels and clear varnish.
i need the finish to be hard and durable but most household paints that I am familiar with are very soft and flexible. Is there a brand of paints that folks commonly use for furniture? Should I attempt to pigment a clear varnish to get what I am looking for?
thx
