37-610 tombstone toner - KCMike - 08-25-2015

  Can anyone tell me the correct toner color for the top and sides of the 37-610 tombstone? The front is faux finish. I've looked on line at images and cannot determine if they are correct or not. Thanks

I would go with medium dark walnut and for the trim extra dark walnut. Do the side edge of front panel also in the extra dark walnut. Ron would know how it came from factory. Icon_wave Icon_wave Icon_wave

Thanks Fred. I have both Mohawk lacquer colors. Wanted to get it on tomorrow as the temps and humidity has given me a short window to get caught up on three cabints I have ready to finish.

Will be glad to. The one after the 37-610 is my 90 cathedral. Definetly want to get that one correct.

 Here is a couple pics of the cabinet. The 1st was before starting on it.

  I sprayed it with 2 coats of lacquer and sanded the next day.

 I went ahead and put the first application of toner on.

  Any help with how to proceed appreciated. I was going to wait a day and tape off the sides to do the trim and edges.
