Ok now that the chassis is almost done its time for some cabinet stuff. The left side of my cabinet has what I can only describe as orange peel. What's the first step to make this condition better? I know nothing except for what I read on the forum and I read all the time. I know that the members of this forum will give me good advice so have at it. I will include pictures of my cabinet today.
