Philco 16B restoration
#1

 With the weather cooperating I decided to get this one finished. Its been sitting in the basement for 2 years.
The damage was there when I got it.

 After stripping.

 This is after some toner and 3 coats lacquer. It was darker than the picture but still not right.

 I had to order more extra dark walnut I had ran out. Little better now.

  After decal and 4 more coats lacquer. Don't know if I should just wait a few weeks and rub it out and polish or sand it again and apply more lacquer. Looks pretty good as is.

  I still have to paint the stripes on the front.
