I managed to wipe the lacquer off the front of the cabinet while not disturbing the black trim. Then I tried using some Deft lacquer sanding sealer, but it wrinkled too. So I rummaged through my finsihing supplies and came up with this Varathane universal sanding sealer. It's water based, odorless, easy to apply and dries clear in about an hour. I've brushed on several coats and it looks very promising.
