So I am taking a couple day break from the chop due to holidays and extended family in town, but thought I would tell you about how I plan on doing the bed wood. There is a process called hydro-dipping that will let you coat metal/plastic in a pattern of your choice. (

I am going with the redish color I previously sprayed up top, with a black bottom, and a ghosted silver in between the two. I will then do a dark burlwood bed. (
