: : Well, tomorrow is the big day for me. I got the wood and I'm cutting the pieces for my cabinet tomorrow. My question is, what should I do next? Should I paint all the pieces before I assemble it or should I assemble it first?
: I would paint after it is assembled.....it will make a neater job.
I agree... I'd finish the entire cabinet (not counting control panel), patch all screw holes, then paint everything. I'm building my control panel separate (it bears a STRONG resemblance to the HotRod controller) so it's all painted and complete, then when I build the cabinet itself, I'm going to finish it all up, then paint it.
