How hard could it be??
Fortunately the lacquer based finishes are pretty easy to remove (a rag and lacquer thinner) if you don't like the results.
Cost?
For materials about 50-$75 for stripper, grain filler, sanding sealer, toner,clear coat, masking tape, sandpaper, lacquer thinner, and mineral spirits.
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!
No, no. What I meant was that you should use toning lacquer instead of stain. You can never achieve the original factory appearance with stains as you can with proper application of toning lacquer.
Terry said it better than I did, in post #4 above.
