Hello:

I had to strip a 42-380 console. It was too damaged to restore without stripping all the polyurethane off that was applied over the shellac, so the faux finish came with it. Any suggestions for restoring the faux finish. I did send a message to Refaux to see what they might have to offer.

As well, I would appreciate suggestions on lacquer colors. I did not really note that this had two types of toner lacquer. It all seemed the same color except for the three faux areas.

Thanks in advance,

Dave
