Toner color questions
#1

This is my first attempt at using toners vs stain and gloss lacquer topcoat.

I'm working on this Sears and Roebuck Silvertone 6425:

This is it after stripping, sanding etc...two coats of sealer and waiting for another sanding, gran filling and sealing.

I'm liking the base color as is, but the left and right top and the accents/base were a darker color originally.

What color toner(s) do you all suggest?

I'm assuming that when ready I mask those sections and apply the toner then topcoat in clear?

PS- I was also thinking about making the interior sections of the grill darker as well. Would that be sacrilege? Will the restoration Gods strike me down?
