Been Wanting to do a Paint Job-y on an Old Breakfast Tray,
First, I Tried to Remove the Legs,
but They didn't Budge,
So I've Just Secured Them Underneath,
(You May have Better Luck with Yours!)
Then,
I Sanded The Whole Thing,
Just Enough to Remove the Shine,
and Scratch it Up a bit to Give the New Paint Some Grip,
Then I Primed it,
Painted it a Light Gray Color,
and Used My Tinted Glaze to Add the Ever Loving Details!
[I Use a Tintable Glaze,
that I had Tinted the Color: Fired Earth by Valspar.
Same Thing I've Used to Antique My White Cupboards,
and other Furniture!]

Oh, you never cease to impress! I wish I had an ounce of the creativity that flows through your veins!! That turned out wonderful!
....and it looks like you've got some good direction here in the commentary when you're ready to select a Men's Polo T-shirt. : )
Can you please let me know how you get the black to come thru on your kitchen table makeover.
@Rhonda, the Black that You see on the Table (and on the Tray in this post) is the Tintable Glaze that I use to "Antique" the item. It's Not UNDER the Red on the Table, or UNDER the gray on this Tray, for Example- It's OVER them. It's Like a thin paint that you put on the top, then wipe off or thin as You like, adding it where You want it. On the Table, I did it heavy on some of the detail on the legs for Example, but Lighter on the top of the table.
The Glaze Comes Clear, but You can have it Colored. I Had Mine Colored Dark for these projects [Fired Earth by Valspar].
Summary: Its not UNDER your Color, It's OVER/On TOP of Your Color.
I Hope this makes Sense! If you have more questions, let me know!
Good Luck!
