Powder coat finish?
fixedpigs:
powder coating can work on wood...
but it's difficult and much more expensive than powder coating metal...
you'd probably want to wetsand it and then apply a few more coats while wetsanding in between coats...then clear coat it a couple of layers...nice and professional...
anything 'professional' will end up costing quite more though...

Hey Mark,
I can attest that powder coating can and DOES work. Although you'll prolly be limited to certain RAL colours depending on where (if you decide) you get it done. I tested some pieces of MDF out before finally opting to spray.
Just ensure that, if you are doing the whole cab, you don't have any plastic or other meltable parts on show etc. I tried some modesty/connector blocks in our powder coating oven and they deformed with the heat.

That's what happened when you "billed" your own cabinet ;)

One simple method to finish an already painted cab...
1. Apply a generous amount of good polish (I use Novus 1,2, or 3 plastic polish because I have it on hand for my pinball machines)
2. Allow to set until completely dry (like the instructions recommend)
3. Buff off with an orbital sander with buffing pad installed.
You can bring a nice but imperfect finish up to an amazing shine with some good polish.
