Kirk,
You are too modest.Your cabinets are excellent to say the least.You could be new to the radio restoration, but definitely not to the woodwork finish.
I use for my work regular auto touch up spray gun (sometimes they call it "mini").
I tried both ways and found out that the lacquer you are using is easier to compound if done by hand. With an orbital buffer it does not matter.You see, I have never seen or touched the perfect original to compare and my concern is always overdoing it.Some high end radios did have the piano look like finish, but with cathedrals I simply do not know.
