Toned laquer hides a multitude of sins. If you want more character you can always use artists oils thinned down with paint thinner on soft wood, but use sparingly and let it dry at least a week before laquer regimen. When touching up, I have found out that the grey level or gamma, is more important than the actual hue, once everything is done and over, and a semi-gloss sheen is achieved.
