I decided the original cabinet was too far-gone so it was decided that another cabinet would be used. The donor cabinet was a Gtb Count Down cab I was given and needed a lot less work. This saved a heap of time being able to use this cab, as I simply restored this one and swapped the parts over onto the new cab when it was done, then launched the old empty cab to the dump.
The bottom panel was replaced, the dents filled, then it was sanded back, sprayed in undercoat and then sprayed in gloss white enamel. After the white was dry the black speckling was applied using thinned out black enamel and a toothbrush by flicking the bristles with an icy pole stick from about a foot away from the cabinet.
Stencils were made by first tracing the designs off the original cabinet with tracing paper, then placing the tracing paper over white cardboard and cutting out the shapes with a hobby knife., as per my other resto threads I’ve posted so I wont bore you all by repeating myself too much, lol. I had a couple of stuff ups along the way doing these stencils, requiring me to start again. Pics show the end result. Excuse the bad pics… sorry
