We have it sanded and primed, now letting it cure for two weeks. Then we will roll two coats of ( nickel ) paint and let that cure for two weeks.

Thank you, trying to put lots of time in. Want to finish by the end of the year! I’ll put a coat of white paint on and let it cure for a few weeks then lite sand and another coat of white paint and put some lats inside to secure the cabinets and shelves to the wall.
