After removeing the black paint the original walnut veneer was oiled and to my surprise they looked presentable if not perfect. Recommend you give the original walnut veneer a chance first, you might be surprised at how good they look, and then if disatisfied get out the black paint. My bet is that with your skills you will be very satisfied with the original finish. Plenty of posts on LH to guide you thru the process.
