Philco 640 Cabinet Refinishing Chronicles

This restoration has been a total trip and I have learned a lot on sealers and fillers. I have tried Mohawk products for toners and found them expensive and did not like the delivery nozzles. I just use Deft out of the can and dyes that match the colors offered by Mohawk to tint my clear lacquer. I can spray a lot better out of a spray gun than a can and it is a whole lot cheaper. Much easier to vary the thinner to lacquer ratio for better flow depending upon temperature and the quantity of dye on the mixture for how fast I want to build up the color.
I'm not certain why people wish to pay the high price for a can of colored lacquer but then again, I'm no expert.
