Quoted from lexi:On another note what is your opinion on have the inside of the cabinet and backbox sprayed black rather than natural (as it would have been when new)?
I've not done a cabinet repaint yet but I likely will this summer on my Mata Hari. I've seen other Mata Hari restoration threads where they've painted the inside of the cab and tumble polished the metal bits and it came out really nice. It's inspired me to do the same when I get to the point of trying my hand at painting. Do what you like your what you think you'd like!
