Thanks Gene. This is my first cabinet refinish so it is a learning experience. Believe it or not, I'm actually enjoying myself. When I restripped, re-grain filled, and re-applied lacquer it went a lot faster the second time. I'm not as intimidated as I once was by the whole process. I think making some mistakes along the way may be unavoidable when spraying with cans in a garage. It's learning how to deal with the mistakes that takes experience and the only way to gain the experience is by doing.
