I spot grain filled the areas I mentioned above last night. Tonight I lightly sanded the top, sides, and front with 320. Then cleaned it all off with a tack cloth and then sprayed one wet coat of clear gloss over the entire cabinet. The extra grain filler did its job and it looks a lot better now!
Tomorrow night I plan on taping off the top, sides, and columns and then applying Medium Brown to the front. I'll post some pictures after I get that done.
Anyone have any tape recommendations? I have both the blue and green tape. The green tape seems to stick better than the blue but I painted the entire interior of my house with blue and had very little issues. I thought I read somewhere a long time ago that the green was preferred for lacquer.
