RaggedEdge:
Two coats of latex primer and three coats of latex gloss black.  I got the best surface when I used the high density foam rollers from Home Depot.  Don't come try to find them at that location because I think I bought them all :-)  I thought about using semi gloss, but I just had to have some kind of a reflection.  I thought about getting it painted at an auto body shop, but with a little one on the way in June, I would cringe thinking about the "terrible twos" and what abuse my cabinet will take during that time :-)
RaggedEdge:
In the house and upstairs.  I first tried to take it upstairs with only one other person.  No way!  I recruited 3 of my neighbors, inticing them with lots of free credits when it's done ;-)  BTW, the wheels paid off when getting it in the house.  I was able to roll it around all I wanted.
RaggedEdge:
OK, it was coin door cutout time.  Nothing too special here, I used a hole saw the round the corners.  All from the book as usual.
RaggedEdge:
OK, time for the control panel.  I followed the book, but am now wondering if I should have hinged the top onto the control panel.  I guess I can go back and do that if I need to.
RaggedEdge:
Control panel and front door mounted to cabinet, but they still need to be painted.
