You must use tinted (toning) lacquer to properly replicate the original finish. This is what the factories used "back in the day".

I would use Medium Walnut (the dye version) for B and C; Perfect Brown for A.

Mohawk Ultra Classic. A Bing or Google search will turn up several online vendors of the stuff.

Toner sure I didn't really think stain would work so well. Just used it in the title.

So am I correct though that this thing should have 3 different tones to it?
