I'm just going to buy the one for cabinets, I'm pretty sure is going to look good! I will upload few pictures after. I agree. If you get a good quality Satin black, I'm sure they will be just fine.

I just started painting the bottom and the removable base, I was hesitant using a foam roller, but man, I followed the instructions and the results are great! I was able to apply two coats and still see the grain pattern. Tomorrow I will upload more pictures! 3 Quote

Erivera1990 Posted January 14, 2023 Author Posted January 14, 2023 Just a picture of my progress! I'm 90% done! Just letting the paint fully cure (7days), doing small touch ups here and there. I haven't put the grills on yet, those magnets are stupid strong, does anyone know a trick or something I can make to pull them off? I don't want to pry the grills (had to do few repairs of missing edges). I'm probably going to do a new post explaining the whole process. 3 Quote
the real Duke Spinner Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 I glued a tab on the board I can pull that to start loosening the grille 1 Quote
