Dracula restoration - backbox repaint - Part 3

Painting of the backbox:

Notice the knot/plug in the plywood and the number stamped in the side:

After first or 2nd coat.. Although it was latex, because it was sprayed, it went on thin enough that after 2 coats, the color wasn't uniform - thin in places.

Final product:

It wasn't slick like a car finish, but it wasn't bumpy either. Ample coverage, yet it doesn't appear too thick. Considering I'm using latex instead of lacquer, I'm happy with the results and compromise.

Finally, here are the new backbox trim pieces, cut from 3/4" MDF and sealed with several coats of Zinsser sealer.
