I added the decal and sprayed the clear coat this morning. I used Mohawk Pre-Catalyzed Clear Gloss. Some guys like semi-gloss. Either one is fine. I like the Pre-Cat clears because it's humid where i live and the pre-cat seems less likely to blush.

This little radio is finished. Scroll up and look at the original photo from when we began. Then look at the photo from the Radio Museum. I think this radio cabinet came out well. At the least, it's a big improvement from when we started.

From here, you can hand polish out the finish if you want. You need some very fine sandpaper, and some polishing compound. I think that's a topic for a different thread though. I'm calling this one done. I've got some new grill cloth on order, and when the radio is assembled, I'll add one more photo to this thread. Most of the time, I'll use acrylic brown/black paint to paint the cut outs for the speaker, but this radio looks fine without it.. so no need for that.

I hope this thread helps someone new. As you can see, it's easy to do if you have the right materials. Thanks for looking. And thanks to Eddie Brimer for teaching me how to do this.
