I spray outside.  Windless day.  I do it half in the garage half out so  i get some light.
Lacquer very forgiving.  Also mineral spirits will show you what it will look like before you  spray.  Sand, then  some  mineral spirits  look ok...spray.  Fill in the grain if you think it will help.
Doesn't look right? sand it /strip it all off. I have many times, until i like it. 
You should of seen this before i cleaned it up  https://antiqueradios.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=417894
