The cabinet is redder than my photos show. I don't think it started off as red as M3-SRT8's cabinet, but that could just be because it was in pretty poor shape when I got it.
I used a paint called "antique dark walnut" for the bezel. It's a little more purple than chocolate brown. After letting it dry overnight I knocked it down with 0000 steel wool. It took the "just painted" shine off of it and made it much more even. I also put the first coat of grain filler on this morning. I took the advice of the old guy at the wood supply store and went with CrystaLac clear filler. I'm going to give it a very light sand with 320 grit tomorrow morning and put the next coat on. I'll post some progress pictures then.
