The plywood pieces were glued togetter with the addition of some stainless steel screws. Wood fill was used to cover the screws and other holes and the cabinet was sanded and prepped. Once the prep work was completed the cabinet was given an under coating of KILZ 2 All-Purpose primer (white) applied with a roller and brush. The top coats are Behr Ultra Semi-Gloss (black) applied with an handheld HVLP paint sprayer.
