ZACCARIA EYES... I've seen things you humans couldn't believe... END

ok, it was the first time I did something like that and I have to say I'm not satisfied, anyway the result is better than the original status: I hope the next time to do better.

the front of the cabinet was very damaged so I decided to remake it. first of all I cleaned it and I could see conditions were very critical. FIrst of all I sanded all the surface and I tryed to paint a primer on the top but the result was rather lousy...

[vernimark]

so I decided to cover the surface with 3mm plywood. then I used a primer in order to have a very smooth surface

[vernimark]

then I spent a couple of hours into leroy merlin on order to convince the guy to produce a color very similar to the dark brown. once I had enough paint I made some tests on the CP and I had to add some black. the color now I can see is not exactly the same but it is similar enough.
as you can see the tob is not too bad but the lower part had some problems, probably too much dust flying in the garage while I was painting that part... I don't know...

[vernimark]

this is the final result

It does not look too bad, maybe just sand very little and do a extra coat to the bottom

i would really like to know the colorcode of the brown, it seems a B#tch to find the correct mix  

Ully tried to color scan it for me at thorsten, but the paint was too shiny to even get a reading on the machine

it almost looks like there is some kind of clear coat over it.

i have the feeling its "parketlak" as we call it in dutch. (glitsa is the label)

parquet lacquer is what google translate comes with when i do dutch-english



one big profit of Glitsa is that its hard as hell when dry so it will prevent future damage..

I think you're right, there is certainly a glossy top coat over the entire cabinet, I'm sure when I've had paint chips in my Zac cabs you can see the extra layer over the paint.

[vernimark]

yes, I confirm the cabinet has a glossy top coat.

I an tell you the color code but I corrected it with black and red by hand using a spoon so actually I don't know how many black and red to use to correct the original color...

[Etienne MacGyver]

I think its " Chocolate Brown TM"   

[Laszo]

There is something funny about their paint. I have never took a good look at it but it has a glossy finish but I also got the feeling that they mix brow with clear and some black to get these semi solid brow black tone.
