Hi Guys,

I recently bought a cocktail cabinet kit that looks like it came from mameroom.com (2nd handed) (ultimate cocktail cabinet II). Anyways UPS totally screwed up the kit and apparently dropped it a few times because every single panel has dings chips scraps in the top layer or finish. Some are deeper than others but most are just chips in the surface of the black vinyl or laminate finish that goes over the wood. My plan is to buy some black paint (which type...flat black?) and also by some filler (any recommendations on what kind?) I want to just fill in the areas, sand them down and then repaint them with the black paint. Is that pretty much the way to go with this? Can anyone recommend a technique, paint, filler that will work with wood? Some have chips on the corners which I'll need to really be careful with and use some type of filler and sand it down. Let me know your thoughs, I attached some pics for reference.

thanks
Jason

I heard Bondo really reaks. I live in an NYC apartment and don't really want to stink up the whole place. Is that true, or are there any other alternatives to bondo. So just put it on, let it try, sand and paint? What type of paint though?
