I have been busy patching, sanding, patching, sanding, patching and sanding the cabinet. WOW! A much bigger job than I had anticipated but hopefully worth the effort! I will try an under coat this weekend. I have decided to go with an automotive acrylic lacquer as suggested by a few on this site. I'll post my results after. In the mean time I have refurbished the lighting back board with white acrylic lacquer from a spray can which has come up really nice. I have also re printed the label. I stuck some clear adhesive on the sticker with the protective its plastic left on the upper side side which gives it the original smooth feeling. I'll see how it lasts, I guess time will tell.
