Quick overview :-)
1) Sand off all the old veneer so you end up with a bright shiny clean and dust free metal plate. Any bits left will show up once you stick the vinyl on
2) cut out a piece of vinyl so it's slightly oversized
3) carefully take the backing off
4) now slowly stick the vinyl onto the metal. I use a rolling technique so you don't get air bubbles, if you do it's really hard to get rid of them so take car and or practice
5) now use a brand new Stanley blade (new I said) to trim the edges of holes out. This will therefore leave a wood front but a shiny side
6) get some walnut varnish (seriously) and with a fine paint brush varnish the edges. This will colour the bright edges to match
Can't remember what colour I bought. I think it was rose wood but at the cost buy a couple
Simples :-)
