yeah, i was suprised how well it turned out. I had just painted the MDF black teh first time, but it looked crappy..so i figured i'd give it a shot, it turned out so smooth and glossy looking, i was very, very pleased. i could have spend $4 or $5 on special plastic paint, but i figured i'd try the cheap stuff first..and since it was well protected, i shouldnt have to worry about it wearing off...it payed of and worked out very well.
i saw in another thread that TOK used a similar method on his cabinet, but taped it off and painted stripes on it...it looks really, really nice. i figured i'd make a simple black one because i want to get it finished, and then i'll mess around with another piece to see if i can get it to look right with a pattern....
