Attached are photos of my late model 60 currently being restored. The front is pristine; I want to leave it as it is.
The sides have some issues and will need to be stripped and refinished. Also, one of the side pics shows a heavy application
of some overcoat that I want to remove.

Two questions; 1) what color stain would best match the front?
                      2) should I apply an overcoat once the sides are refinished? Should the overcoat remain Matte or Glossy?

Thanks for any advise.
