Hi
First of all, forget the paint. This set did not use any photofinish; it actually has real veneer on its front panel.
Take a look.

I would use Medium Walnut toning lacquer over the entire cabinet once it has been stripped; add Perfect Brown on the bottom trim for a little contrast. Finish with clear lacquer.
To finish the cabinet using other products (paint, polyurethane, etc.) would be to give the cabinet a finish that was not used originally.
