Well ive got the white section painted but ive had to walk away ^.^    Masked up the patern on the front of the cabinet and given it a light coat of paint and the bloody shit masking tape is bubbling and peeling so if i have to remask for the second coat im going to be majorly pissed off ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^

Fingers crossed that its all fine

Dan,

Hold off until you visit here Saturday arvo....with a cold JW in your hand I will explain (and show) the way around this (and also how to fix).

It's called the Milly's Method  &&

So chill mate - you can fix - it's all cool  ()

Looking really nice Daniel.

Interesting they didn't centre the coin door on the design...!  I guess they were pumping them out back then in the good old days!
