Philco 640 Cabinet Refinishing Chronicles

I spent some time painting the inside of the grill cutouts yesterday. I didn't get a chance to get to it on Saturday. Was too busy with the family picking out a X-Mas tree and decorating the house. I used artist acrylic paint and mixed Burnt Umber into Mars Black to give a little brown tint to the black. As for the brush, I just used small basic brush from by 10 year old daughters paint set. If any paint got on the front of the grill cutouts it was easily wiped off with a wet rag. Here are some photos:

This is the paint I used but I'm sure any acrylic type paint would work:

If I have time tonight I'm going to apply the first 3 coats of clear gloss lacquer.
