I purchased a Broyhill Fontana Entertainment Center off Craigslist. The original stain color does not match anything in my house. I plan on painting it with the Rustoleum Painter's Touch Satin Heirloom White and changing the hardware to brushed nickel. We used an orbital sander with 60 grit sanding paper and finished it off with a 150 grit sanding paper. We chose Watco Dark Walnut Danish Oil Stain for the top. We replaced the wood back panel with a new wood panel from Lowes. For this project, we used 7 cans of primer spray because Home Depot, www.homedepot.com, had our color in stock. I was unaware that Menards, www.menards.com/main/search.html?search=rustoleum+painters+touch&querytype=onlineitems, sells the primer in a quart size can locally. We also purchased our knobs and pulls at Menards, www.menards.com/main/bath/bath-cabinetry/knobs-pulls/k443-cup-pull-power-amp-beauty-collection/p-1626841-c-19281.htm.

| We have to wait 72 hours before we seal the stain! |
