Alright.. lookin good!..Allow it to dry! ...

Next up was just to use regular refinishing technique. There are already threads on this, so I will skip those steps. Basically, I sprayed a light coat of universal walnut over the entire cabinet (including my paper finish.).. Then, I taped off the main cabinet and did the edges with Extra Dark Walnut. This was followed up with a few coats of Clear Gloss.

Final Result....

Original look that was desired...
