I applied the trim color today. I went with Perfect Brown toner but I thought it could be a little darker, so shot a couple of light coats of Extra Dark Walnut. The color is now a deep brown, not black, but darker than a solid brown.
One thing that I noticed is that on the front where I masked off the bottom trim, when I pulled off the tape, there is a definite lighter area where the tape was. Any good ideas as to how to fix that?

Here is the cabinet after I shot a couple of coats of Mohawk E-Z Vinyl Sealer. I wish I would have done a better job with the grain filler. oh well, not bad for the first one though.

Thanks Fred. I was going to shoot maybe 5 coats of clear then add the decal. Would that be ok?
Hello Crist, 2 coats of clear would be enough. The more clear over decal the better , it will hide the cut line on decal better. I really like that EZ lacquer vinyl sealer from mohawk, it tends to fill better than there regular sanding sealer and is alot more durable . Now just sand lighly with 400 and shoot 2 coats of the buffcoat .
OK, I think I'll shoot the topcoat clear tomorrow. Getting close!

I put on the decal before any top coat was sprayed. I then sprayed on 2 wet coats of Mohawk Buffcote sheen 40 thinned about 60% top coat and 40% Mohawk reducer. When those coats were dry, I lightly sanded then cabinet and then shot 4 more coats. The cabinet is finished. I'll take better pictures later.
