Ikea Hack Project - Day 1

Original Shelf + Additional door

Finally had the time to start on my first attempt as this Ikea Hack project. I have been wanting to do this for a while but never had the time or motivation to. Now that I have more time on my hands, today was the first day to start on this project. I will be changing my old shelf into a Kid Robot Dunny collection shelf with glass doors, adding in LED lights, and of course painting it black.

Replacing original doors to glass doors


120 grit sand paper + 180 grit sand paper finish

Day 1 - before painting the shelf and the doors, I used painters tape to cover the glass windows. This is to prevent the paint on sticking to the glass because it's gonna be a hassle trying to remove them with alcohol and all. Using 120 grit sand paper to remove the initial protective layer and finishing it with 180 grit sand paper in smoothing the surface.
