I worked most of the day yesterday on a dresser I am re-doing.  I found it at a flea market for only $15, ready to take on the challenge of an outdated piece of furniture with paneling on the sides.  Yes, paneling.  And brassy gold handles on the drawers.  All-around ugly is what it was.  Anyway, to make it fit into our office, (It will be great for extra storage) I chose to paint it red.  First, I primed it, then I spray painted it using Krylon Cherry Red. 
Here's where I need your advice.  I don't have any experience painting furniture at all.  I wish the dresser was more of a barn red and less of a bright, shiny red.  How would you suggest I - 1) dull the finish a bit so it's not so shiny and 2) darken the shade a bit if possible.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you!
I promise to post before and after pics!
I wish I had some advice for you!
