Model 81 Cabinet Restoration
#21

I've done them a couple of ways. I've taped them off and spray toned them the color I wanted after I had toned the face. I've painted them with Americana acrylic paint which dries flat but after you spray the clear gloss layers its gloss. And if I recall correctly...and that could be a stretch...I think Fred Taylor described spraying the edges the color you want before working on the face, then sanding the face which takes the tone off the face and leaving a clean edge. Then tone the front which will be lighter than the edge and the lighter tone doesn't affect the edge color. (I've not done that and can't locate the thread at the moment.)
