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.
