Where can I get some black/brown paint please ?

It's to paint a two drawer filing cabinet which I would like to match/look somewhat like the Ikea black/brown shelf above it !!

All ideas gratefully received - thank you !
Thanks to MSE I cleared £37k of debt in five years and I was lucky enough to meet Martin to thank him personally.

  • Hi,

    maybe this will give you an idea,

    Re: Stain to match the Billy black-brown color?
    From the rockler.com website: This stain is great. I had a customer who wanted their desk to match the Ikea black brown finish. 2 coats of the General Finishes Java gel stain and 1 coat of Minwax ebony, and you have it.

    got it from this site.
