47-1230 Finally Complete
#18

Hi Rich, Definteley a lot of work to refinish the cabinet but of course it is doable. First I would use a stripper to get all the old laquer off. After that you need to find a toner laquer to spray on then clear. I used a behlen laquer with a spray gun, But a lot of people use Mohawk laquers in a spray can if you don't have a gun and compresser. I would be glad to answer any questions and try to help you with refinishing it if you like. Let me know what you need from there and I will do my best to help. With the toner laquer you need to put light coats on over and over until it gets to be as dark as you like with light sanding in between to make it smooth. After that put clear laquer and sand it using up to 1500 grit sandpaper to make a smooth finish then polish. Let me know of any questions along the way.
