Rare McMurdo silver masterpiece cabinet refinish
#1

Another radio cabinet that I was chosen to refinish, this very rare McMurdo silver masterpiece radio is under going an extensive cabinet paint job. This had been special ordered in black which not many are around any more . The owner of Zenith Stratosphere I had refinished also is having do this radio. This was quite an under taking , the cabinet needed much work and doing it in a black piano finish it had to be done right. Many hours were spent preparing the cabinet for the black lacquer finish which will be wet sanded and machine polished after the clear lacquer has cured in a few weeks or so. I will post pictures of the polishing stage and the end result of a mirror finish that you only see on high end furniture and automobiles.
