thanks Gav. I like this colour combination a lot. It just says '1950's' to me. I obviously did most of the prep work 'on the box' which I like to do when I can. For general info, I used a small roller (3cm wide) for both the green and red. No spray was done on this cabinet. The great advantage of doing it this way is there's no fumes/paint that you breathe in when spraying. .... the green will hopefully complement the green on the backglass, when the machine is back together. We'll see.
