You got everything right except for a few things. Once your grooves are smoothed out including recessed area in grill where the grill cloth is up against, spray your black or extra dark walnut which ever you choose, then sand the grain filler off entire cabinet and the overspray will come with it , that will leave those areas that you painted nice and crisp. Then do your medium dark walnut stain, wiping on then wiping off while still wet . If you get stain on the wings or center you can sand it off. Then the extra dark walnut stain, used as a toner with air brush. If you get any on wing area sand it off , don't use thinner it will remove the grain filler. Now you can spray your light golden oak on center and wings, don't worry about over spray on this color because it wont change the over all color of the walnut infact it will blend into the walnut real nice and give you that shade that you see in my radio. Put your decal on after the second coat of vinyl sealer. Lightly scuff the sealer on cabinet and add decal. Then topcoat with buffcoat clear. Hope this helps. There's a lot to it, maybe I should do a video someday
