Thanks guys. It's Behr paint, called "Laser" haha. And the outside is "Espresso Bean". Clear is curing, should be able to install the doors and load it up tonight.

IT IS COMPLETE!
Doors closed:
And an open before and after:
I dig it. Gonna do some sanding on the non-visible parts of the doors, because paint buildup has made them a pain to slide.

Haha thanks brother, but I promise it looks better at 5 feet than it does up close

Imperfections aside, it was out first DIY project, and we're happy with it. It was cool before, but I think this paint job fits us much better.

well when I'm up that close to it at that point I'm reaching for records and lost interest in the case itself.

That looks awesome!
I am in the process of stripping an old record cabinet/credenza myself. Gonna apply some new stain but now seeing yours I want to paint the record dividers a nice color. I'll post some pics here, too.

YES! We totally would have gone the stain route, but with veneer it isn't really an option.
