Finally, after messing with a few different paint types, I settled on
epoxy. I believe the cabinet will repel a stone strike at 60 miles per
hour. The paint is really hard. I finished it today and I think I'll be using
this stuff from now on. It's shiny but it looks great. Using automotive paint on
wood is a bitch, but the end result is pretty good. Before my buddy and I
painted it, I re-veneered the edges and the front. So I'll give it two days to
harden and start final assembly on Saturday.

This is the back panel
that will go on it. I test fit it on Lazarus (#600), which is in the
shop for a few upgrades. I will use similar material over the hole
in the side. We'll preserve the Unicorn panel for
posterity.
Just a reminder of how
it used to look. The cheek blocks were missing so I made it a new
set.
