Cant wait to get started with sanding and painting. I'm thinking of Metallic gray for the outside and blue for the Drawer faces.
I plan on updating this thread with some process pics, if anyone is interested.
Any one have some good advice on flat file restoring or best practice for print storage within the cabinet (Bags , boards, weights...etc)?
Haha. I have that same rubber duck bath that I see hanging up in your garage. Great for the babies.

After some hard work here is the final product. The drawer fronts were a bit difficult as I didn't really have any thing to hold them upright. I got some drip marks but sanded and lightly coated them. Ended up with a kind of textured look and feel, looks rad and I am quite happy with it. This project was a lot a fun, I would really recommend it to anyone with the room for these beastly cabinets. Especially if you are like me and have prints flattening everywhere. Now to fill it! :pint:
And that Rubber Duck Bath is UH MAY ZING!
