Thanks, Steve and Paul! And Paul, your RCA is very neat as well.
After staring at more 6T2 pictures, I decided that the "white wood" on this cabinet needed to be darker than it was.
So...

Yup...I masked off the cabinet (no easy chore) and sprayed two coats of Mohawk Extra Dark Walnut on the "white wood" areas.

What appears to be blushing on the right side trim is just a reflection of something. The cabinet is fine. I've been fortunate so far, having had no issues with blushing lacquer in spite of the 90+ degree heat and high humidity here. I'm doing my spraying in our standalone garage, where my truck normally resides. And unlike those dummies who are killing themselves using methylene chloride strippers indoors with no protective gear, I'm using a respirator when spraying lacquer. And the overhead door of the garage is left open while spraying, as are the few small windows this garage has. I think the fact that this garage is rather large and has a high ceiling is making a difference in how my work is turning out.
I'll post a photo of the cabinet with the masking removed later.
