Gold-Dipped Side Table Pals

I found these two tables on separate occasions of thrifting and concluded that they would pair up fantastically for a set of gold-dipped tables, a project I'd been wanting to try out for a long time!
Here's both of their "before" conditions:
Both were in pretty rough shape with smudges, grime, stains, chips - you name it, they had it!
Looking better already!
Next came the "gold-dipping" step. I sealed them off using Frog Tape and trash bags. Frog Tape is WONDERFUL - it is gentle so that I don't have to worry about it peeling my new paint off with it when removed, and keeps the paint from bleeding when I sprayed the gold on. I used Valspar's metallic gold.
For finishing touches I used gold Rub 'N Buff on the drawer fixtures and lined the insides and sides of the drawers with pretty scrapbooking paper in a black and white damask design.
They look so glamorous together! Such a stark difference from what they used to look like!
