Boxford 260 VMC rebuild

That looks a great build, Did you spray the Cabinet with a HVLP gun or cans ?.Im just prepping a Lathe I brought a while ago and about to start painting I have been torn with spraying for a nice job or brush for a thicker and quicker job.

I used Rust-oleum hard hat top coat, it is fantastic paint. I was originally going to get the cabinet shot blasted and powered coated, but quotes seemed a bit crazy so rattle cans it was. The problem with Boxfords is that the original paint is rubbish so moisture gets underneath and you really need to strip it all off or not bother.
