112X Cabinet restoration
#14

That looks about right.

You are going to find that toner colors are not what most people expect:

VD Brown is brown, but it has a greenish cast if applied heavily turning almost black with heavy applications.

Walnut/ dark gives the English walnut look but will be too red if applied too heavily.

Perfect Brown is brown but takes on a brown-plastic look if applied heavily.

There is a difference between the "classic" and "tone" types of toner though the "tone" type can become less opaque with successive coats, used lightly, you can still see grain through it. A few passes with VD brown tone (toner) is probably what the trim edge of the top of your radio needs.

GO LIGHTLY most people use toner like they were painting a wall - way too much.

On some radios I use a mix of Rudd gloss and Rudd semi-gloss to take the gloss down just a bit. Buffing with 3M compound and a air (power) buffer will knock the gloss down quite a bit. Wait at least a couple of weeks before buffing.
