Philco 86
#23

Thanks Ron,
I think I will use clear Gloss instead of semi-gloss as the top coat. It doesn't look like I can get the shine lighter, maybe the gloss will help it blend in better. The legs still aren't exactly like the back ones but will do. Now I need to learn how to replace some of the broken veneer and new grill cloth. Pic to be posted later today I hope. You guys are sure a wealth of info for newbies like me.
George
