What ever color you choose, you definately want to go with high gloss, because it will be the easiest to clean, because it is the "smoothest" paint surface available.

Thanks everyone for their input. Here is what I did this weekend. I think I will end up with Grey (high gloss) lowers and white (high Gloss) uppers. If the white uppers look weird after finishing I can always go back to grey. I may also look into the stainless fronts as I have a friend that could stamp them for me.

Zebra pattern eh? I'd like to see an example of that!

Also - can anyone suggest the best "paint" or "epoxy" for the floor?

I etched my garage floor a few years ago and put on Behr Concrete 1-part Epoxy. It holds up for 2 years - winter slush always eats it away eventually. I'd like a better coating for the floor - so if you know one, please post.
