Thrilled to see you back on the restorations 

I'm glad you moved on to the acrylics rather than spray cans. The results as so much better - that basecoat looks amazing. The headbox edging is chipboard and is very difficult to paint as the timber absorbs the paint very quickly and leaves a different finish from the plywood. I can't notice a difference - so you have done very well. The lower cabinet chipboard back panels are always a pain to replace. I think the last one I did took almost a day of fiddling to get it right - but it was worth it.

I know tony LOVES his boxing games - so I know the finish product will be worth waiting for !
