The ultra classic toners are dye based and will allow more of the wood grain pattern to show through. The other toner type is pigment based and a bit more opaque. The guys that do the serious refinishing use spray guns and mix their own tones.

Deft clear gloss lacquer is used over top of the toner, and is found in most hardware or big box home centers. It takes some practice to get the coating looking decent.

As for colors for the 680 I'll have to let others comment.

Cheers,
Bob
