The cabinet should be sprayed with Mohawk Extra Dark Walnut overall. The accent panels in front are Medium Walnut.

The grooves in front can be filled with tan nail polish - nail polish is lacquer-based, so it should not interact with the coats of clear lacquer when you apply these.

This picture shows what a 45C (and 28C) should look like:
