I'm working on my MM restoration and thought I'd take some pics of what
I do when restoring a cabinet. Most of the pics are pretty self
explanatory.
Sanding is done with 80 grit then followed up with 120. That's as fine
as I've found I need to go. Black paint is Painters Touch semi gloss
found at Home Depot. I use 5 cans on the cabinet and 2 cans for the
head.
I prefer to use bondo as the filler but other materials can be used.
Wear a long sleeve shirt and glove or you'll be scrubbing all day to
get the overspray off your arm. A good dust mask is also highly
recommended or you'll be blowing black boogers for a week.
Total time for the whole process was 8 hours and 4 beers. Of course
the beer drinking didn't start until noon......that's the house rules.
One other thing, do like I do and do this in a friends shop so you
don't mess up your own.

Just click on MM Cab prep. You can click on MM restoration and see how
I install the decals dry.
And no, Lloyd, I've had no flames......yet.

shower of sparks or flames or both. Keep a safe distance (like four
city blocks). Never return to a restoration once lit. Hot hot hot!"
