- Remove the front metal latch from box with the screwdriver. Fill the holes from the latch with wood filler. Let dry then sand smooth with 220 grit sandpaper.
- Using the foam brush paint on 1 or 2 coats of Overcast paint. I used one coat of paint to let the wood grain peek through. Let dry between coats.
