Paint it black

Now the wood- and metalwork is all finished, the paintwork has started. I disassembled the whole case and applied the paint: two coats on every side with 48 hours in between coats. The paint should in theory be overpaintable in 24 hours, but it drying in a cold and slightly damp cellar makes it take longer.
The laquer finish proves to be a bit disappointing. Apparently the cellar is a bit dusty, which translates in an accidented finish. Maybe I can polish things up once it has hardened out.
