Over 25 years ago, while living in Miami, my Mom decided to have her two piece oriental style cabinet painted professionally from a brown color to a glazed pink-peach color to match the tropical appearance in her apartment. After 25 years her favorite piece had cracked paint and numerous paint chips. After having my now-deceased Mom's cabinet shipped 1500 miles here to Delaware, I had a difficult time finding someone to restore it. Fortunately, I found Leonard. He took part of the cabinet to his paint company to scan and match the color peach-pink tropical color. Leonard carefully, sanded it, finished it, and did a great job restoring it. The finished piece looked great. It was an heirloom and I had planned to pass this on to my daughter. Eleven months later after, the paint started cracking in some new places. This is probably due to the unique type of paint that he used. I contacted Leonard and let him know about the cracking. He recently called me and said that he stands by his work and will strip it and refinish it again as soon as he moves to his new location.
