:
The CBT36 front panel is finished separately from the rest of the cabinet components. As noted below,
the front panel is finished with an acrylic automotive finish while the rest of the cabinet is finished in a low-
luster black lacquer. The following steps describe the finishing of both sections of the cabinet.
4.1.1.
Gather All Items to be Painted:
Gather all the items that need to be painted. Remove the front panel from the cabinet by removing all (20)
of the ¼-20 x 1.5 inch machine screws using the Allen tool specified above and set it aside for the
moment. If you are new to finishing, it is best to finish your kit in groups. For instance, start with the top
caps and bases because these are smaller parts that will give you practice before you start work on the
main cabinet.

You must select a painting system and color for your cabinets. Consult your painting supply vendor for
options. All cabinet components except for the front panel of the original CBT36 are painted with a low-
luster black pre-catalyzed lacquer. The front is painted with a metal-flake acrylic automotive finish.
