Philco 16B Tombstone question
#1

Hello, all: any suggestions for what color/product to use for the light colored lines that go up the 3 bars of the grillework and parallel across the lower face?

I am about to start shooting the cabinet with clear and wanted to get the detail the correct color before I do.

If you can find nail polish in a tan color, that would be a good choice. Nail polish is lacquer, and won't interfere with your lacquer spray.

Don't use yellow, or white, or ivory. Ivory is too light. Tan is about right.

Another choice is brush-on auto body touch-up paint, which is usually lacquer also.

It may take some searching, but hopefully you will find something suitable.

Thanks, Ron. Those are some great ideas. Yes, I was concerned about making sure that the medium that I used for these details did not interfere with the rest of the laquer finish.
