Been reading lots of great advice here but I still need to ask some questions.

1.) Regarding tinted lacquer for the 91, are the colors for all Clyde Shulers going to be the same - as this 19B in Ron's Cabinet Work for the 2012 Season thread?

2.) When you spray that Mohawk on, do you wipe it in any way or just lightly spray it and leave it?

3.) I've got grain filler from Constantine's - it's best to put down some sanding sealer before that stuff?

4.) As far as the final steps for getting a great finish, I'm at a loss how to get one here. Mohawk's got clears, finishing clears, ultra-flow clear, tone finish clear - so many freaking clears. How do I end well on this radio?
