Looking very, very nice indeed.  Cab reprays are alot of work, but if done right with patience and thinking it through, the result is really satisfying and worth it.

The splatter effect - I think I have read it somewhere in the past that you use (if memory serves correctly) an old toothbrush dipped in black paint, and you use your finger and effectively run it through the brush so that it flicks the paint onto the cabinet.  Share what you can here Nino, I am very interested and elaborate as much as you can, as the next machine to get a respray will be my Gottlieb Buccaneer.

Also, as you do the splatter before the secondary colours are applied (which of course is correct order), do you have any issues with the black dots being noticeable in any way through the secondary colours?  Thanks.
