Trim work looks great can't wait to see it finished. Looking forward to helping you get the tank on the stand. Keep up the good work!

+1 I want to help! I won't even drink your beer unless you insist! :-D

Andy, great job on stand and paint color chosen. You could always do a little glazing on the trim pieces and applique for that added touch. there are some nice and easy metallic glazes that would really set off the Key-lime Green.

Cheers, Todd

This morning I bought a pint of Killz latex to layer the inside the cabinet. Listening to Jimmy Buffett like the Parrot Head I am I got inspired to paint the inside a lagoon blue and leave the frame white to give it a more tropical look. Since the Killz is a pure white I'll apply another layer to the frame.

Smoooth!! I like white interiors. 2 tone interior... Even better!

Soon... We may start adding molding on the inside!!

Thanks Christian! There is a lot of room under there..in fact...so much room that it was no problem laying in there and being able to paint. Im now starting to think about lighting under here. Most likely LED's but in what fashion, wattage and how many. It would be awesome but not practical to throw some tacky Christmas light under here!..LOL
