Very nice! This is exactly what I want to do - same color and everything. I've just been hesitant to actually do the work. Do you have any pointers? A couple of questions that come to mind are: how did you hold the handle open when painting (I would assume you have to wait an hour or so for it to dry before handling it)? how many layers of paint and clear did you use? What grit did you wetsand the clear with and how detailed were you about it (there are lots of crevices)?
