I think either way will work. Make sure you've got a new tack cloth and a plan for cleaning this cabinet, and an extremely clean spray area before you spray any toner. After all the work you've done, you don't want any problems that would have you stripping it again. I'm talking about fisheyes, stray hairs, microscopic pieces of steel wool, runs etc. I think you should ask Eddie Brimer or someone who does this for a living about prep work and spraying technique. If you were just doing the typical refinish, I wouldn't bring it up.. but, you've been working on this for weeks. Stripping it would mean going back to square one. And it does happen.
