Nasty and stained inside:
Everything including ground braid and side rails was removed, leaving only the wood cabinet. I sanded it with 80 grit inside and out. Scratches were filled, resanded with finer sandpaper..primer..sand..primer, etc...
Mid-way through the process-:
Semi-gloss latex Olympic paint was matched to a piece of backbox trim. Mix was 80% paint, 15% water, 5% Floetrol. 4 or 5 very thin coats, sprayed from a cheap HVLP gun, inside and out. No runs at all.
Full paint towards top of cabinet/inside. Painted inside front, mostly to cover staining. Feathered it out towards bottom of cabinet, as factory did:
At this stage, I'm tracing the art back onto the frisket film, with the result being stencils stuck to the cabinet:
Yellow layer already applied, black stencils applied, spraying black at this point:
Black layer finished, stencils pulled away. Not perfect, but close enough. I did a slight amount of touchups with a brush and wet sanded a few runs that I had in the yellow layer:
Speaker board was repainted white. Everything cleaned, hand polished, or tumbled.. It's going to back together:
