That's certainly a nice finish, though the mismatch between the case and the handle looks a bit odd to my eyes. Maybe you could spray the handle too?

I think it's fine to repaint cabinets which have deteriorated and can't be easily restored, such as where cream plastic has suffered UV yellowing. If you're going to paint them then you might as well choose a finish you like.

What transistor did you use to replace the AF139?
