i have 3 end and a coffee table i want to paint. i already cleaned them with TSP and water. my plan is to sand them and prime them with a spray and then spray paint them...however, i want a little distressed look (off white/cream paint) . How do I do that and will the paint adhewared to the roping which looks gloosy even after cleaning?

why would you spray paint them if you want a distressed look?
You have the right process down. Lightly sanding should remove the glossyness on the roping. To get the distressed look paint the tables with the off white/cream first, then paint with your color. Once it's dry sand through the finish color to reveal the off whit/cream underneath in different areas giving that distressed look.
OK. Yes use a primer, then spray them. Once it's dry just lightly sand areas the give a distressed look. You may want to use a water based polyurethane to seal it all.
