Here is what I have done so far. I completely removed the laminate and will start on the body work tomorrow. The whole thing will be painted satin black and the sides that orignaly had the laminate will be replaced with wood grain vinyl. I also got to polish some brackets and kick protectors

Looks awful. Would look MUCH better at my house ;)

Man I can't wait to see how this turns out for you. If the metal polishing is ANY indication, this will look incredible when you are done!

Good luck. I eagerly await more photos :) People that can restore this stuff amaze me.

too bad the wood has some gouges, because you could almost stain it and urethane over it instead of putting on woodgrain vinyl.

You have a good foundation there, nice solid cabinet... cps already look good just need cleaned up.. should be dope when done.
 
Well I got some more done today. I repaired some stuff and shot some prime. One side I haft to redo because I tried sanding and the primer wasnt dry enough and it gummed up.

Fixed my screw ups today and added another coat of primer and sanded to 400 then to 600 then shot 4 coats of black on. Turned out awesome. I can wait to get the tmolding slot routed and the vinyl put on the sides.

first coat

Keep documenting because I have a Defender cocktail I am going to be doing and this thread is both inspirational and instructive! Good work.
 
Im not to sure how stargate would play on a cocktail because of my big arse but man do I want one. That machine looks awesome! I would say that would be my second grail!


Rock on...
