Painting the cabinet

Once the primer is dry, i add the first coat of paint. I use a semigloss oil-base paint and foam roller. The corners and slots which are difficult to reach with a roller, are painted using a spray can. After the first coat is dry, i sand the surface a last time with fine grained sand paper.

The first coat of paint

Before i start painting, i remove the dust using a piece of cloth and a soft brush. After this i apply a thin coat of paint with a foam roller.

sanding between two coats of paint

After the paint is dry, i smooth it with a eccentric sander. I stop sanding before the white primer becomes visible again. The black paint has to be of a evenly flat color.

The yellow finish

The yellow parts of the cabinet are painted last. The yellow paint doesn't cover the primer as good as the black does, so i apply three layer instead of two.
