Marv, I agree 100%. by the time you strip it, clean it, prime it, go to 
the 2 or 3 stores to find and match the wrinkle, 4 or 5 tries to get it 
right on all sides, have a few 807's and invent a few new words. and it 
still looks wrong, you are not a happy camper and if you have a XYL she 
has just cut you off for a month or so. That is since you made her oven 
stink etc. I can take new material parts in the morning at 7:00 on my 
way to work and pick them up after 3:30 on the way home.

On old parts I prefer taking them to a professional stripper and pick 
them up two days later, take them to the powder coating joint and have 
them done in most cases the same day. I have two different PC houses 
that do my work both hi quality, the lowest minimum is $50.00 and same 
day service. for a larger run the minimum goes up, but he has better 
range of colors plus he has batch runs and you do not have to buy powder 
to do 3 or 400 cabinets.

Any how it is easier on the blood pressure to have it correct the first 
time around for 50 bux and less hassle.
Plus it looks better. I have 2 cases of wrinkle available for $5.00 a 
can plus shipping.

It just ain't worth the trouble.
