When I see this sort of “use a coat of paint to make your shabby old furniture fashionable again!” video, I always see it as a variant of this
What you’re doing is to take something which is possibly valuable, possibly worthless, and spending a lot of money to make sure that it is now definitely worthless.
That table in the OP was cheap, but it was a functional table. And now, after spending somewhere north of $200 on housepaint, plus I don’t know how much on a large container of craft herpes glitter, they’ve got something which will almost immediately start flaking off leaving paint chips in everything, unless you spend another $100 or so on laquer, and then never touch the thing. And probably even then.
