I concur here.  Be sure you get good, thick paint if you use these, though.  If you use cheap paint, you will end up with air bubbles form the foam, not matter how slow you go.

For instance, using cheapass Lowe's Enterprise, bubbles galore.  When I switched to Behr Premium, hardly any.  Cheap paint is no bargian!

They only cost around 10 or 20 bucks and allow you to move your cabine with ease. Or perhaps, put your cabinet on wheels to begin with. I just started my 2nd cab and I've put it on a furniture dolly and it has really helped.

Yup it's on wheels.

I used Rustolium Satin black and love the color and finish.

Hey Marine1142, be careful of full gloss. Even with satin it is pretty shiney. With full gloss black, you may be making a mirror. 

MARINE1142:

Well i put the primer on finally. I m going to sand it with 200 or 220 frit sand paper i heard real quick with a sander just to get the rought out of it then primer it again then sand then i want to roll the paint on and use a brush for the corners are my only option is to use latex? No mentions rolling on oil just spary it can you roll and hand brush oil and look good? painting the cab satin black

TOK:

Definitely use oil! Here is oil based satin black (Rustoleum) I rolled on with a smooth 9" roller after sanding with 220 grit.

It was actually my second attempt... I screwed up the first time by trying the second coat before the first has fully dried and got some roller marks in the base coat.

It was the first time I had used a roller on a cab, and the results were really good.



MARINE1142:

That looks great. I was tring to have this cab together by late sat. Do you think if i put the second coat of primer on tonight then sand it tomorrow and the base coat of satin black you think by the end of the day it would be dry enough for the second coat or m i rushing it. The temp here is pretty hot its about 104 if that helps
