Two questions: CCC on a 89, 36SP and Painting cabinets

[Troy Tikalsky]

How many Newell, Fortravel and Monaco's have you owned? Oh wait you LOOKED at
some so you are now a self-proclaimed expert!

The Newell is just as good or better than the Blue Bird in all aspects.

Having owned both and doing my own maintenance I am happy to set you straight.
Lets have your list of the better qualities of the Blue Bird compared to the
Newell.

If you looked at Newell, Foretravel or Monaco and think they are
comparable to Blue bird, I suspect that you would probably be
satisfied with brush painting the laminates.
