A couple of coats of Extra Dark Walnut on the entire cabinet.

I searched every photo and every post about 45's that I could find... some people do these 45's in ebony or black, but from what I can tell, extra dark walnut is the original color. So that's what I went with.. if it's wrong? .. then it's wrong.. I like it and that's what matters. Extra Dark Walnut it is..

While this dries, I going to run up to the store and grab some gold/yellow paint for the stripes... see ya in a few..
