OK, 1st coat is done.  I'm not happy with the green, its a shade off now dried...I don't know if the clear will bring it up....I had to take some artistic licence with his paw as I had no idea what was there previously?  Unfortunately there is not a great deal to do with this afterwards...The previous owner left me a very clean machine  , so I can't even vac the cabinet or clean it...I think even the transformer was cleaned...
