<p>[QUOTE="Gus Tuason, post: 4276518, member: 10012"]Our home was built in 1946 and the kitchen had all cabinets similar to these. They were very sturdy and still usable. In other words we liked them. We took them all down, washed them and sanded the bad spots. We had very little rust. We talked to a local automotive paint supplier and he suggested painting with automotive paint. So, my wife picked out a color and turned the job over to him. Two weeks later we picked up and installed the re-finished cabinets (inside and out). We had a countertop installed and replaced the sink with a stainless one. Total cost about 1/2 of the price of new cabinets w/installation. That was 15 years ago and they still work well and we are still pleased with them. Yours look in fair condition and assuming the bases are not rusted out they are definitely worth restoring and I'll bet they were not made in china.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
