It's okay from a distance though. It's the one that I thought might inspire your 640-2 cabinet as I just went with the glossy black finish and it ended up looking Asian instead of French provincial .... didn't take much!!
I used a Martha Stewart, metallic paint sold at Home Depot here in the U.S. It's water clean up. I'd prefer to keep these tables in their natural, wood state if possible, but some of them are just too far gone or too ugly.
