My Philco 16B
#9

Here's a photo:
[Image: http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k420/.../16bnf.jpg]

I can tell you from my own experience with this cabinet, you do not want to spray a lighter tone color over a darker tone color. I tried that with this cabinet on the top, sides, and trim - I sprayed a light base coat of Extra Dark Walnut, followed by a coat of Medium Dark Walnut. The result was bad...really bad. So, since I did not want to strip and start over, this cabinet has more than the usual coats of Extra Dark Walnut to try and hide the one coat of Medium Dark Walnut. In fact, under bright light, some of the Medium Dark Walnut still shows through. But I am leaving it as is; it looks good on the top and the front, at least. You can't tell the difference on the sides, either, as long as you are not shining a bright light on the sides.

Now, if your first coat is Medium Walnut followed by the dark coats (Extra Dark Walnut), you will be OK. I sprayed the front panel first with Medium Walnut, and did not bother to mask off the top and sides. However, when I sprayed the top and sides with the darker toners, of course I carefully masked off the front panel. The darker toner covered the Medium Walnut just fine.

The decal is the original 1935 PHILCO decal, not a reproduction.
