There is one other important shortcoming of polyurethane and radio refinishing. All of the additives, colors/toners I normally use with the exception of dyes, are incompatible with poly. So you are stuck using stains and/or the muddy pigmented all-in-one poly combination. This makes an original looking finish even more unlikely.
