In fact, we bought a Wheeler & Wilson that someone had painted the cabinet black at one time and painted the irons gold. We stripped the cabinet and completely re-finished it - it came out beautiful!

Still not sure if I like this new forum... I really want the auto emails back, but no luck yet. Guess I will keep on trying. I love this shop, but I just had to read 40 pages!!! Just to be caught up! Back to the drawing board... LOL

Bennett I posted the before and after so you'd see what can be done. We used several cans of stripper to get that black and primer under the black off! It wasn't pretty when we got the cabinet! DH and I sorta had a fight over even taking on this project! Just shows you how beautiful this cabinet was to begin with - once all the paint and gunk came off. Most of those old cabinets will turn out this nice - just takes a lot of work!
