40-158 Veneer question- Updated-Finished!
#11

Thanks Terry, I did do much of it Saturday and finally applied the toner and first coat of clear today. Friday is supposed to be decent here, so I hope to be able to get more clear on it and wet sand this weekend. So far I'm pretty happy with how it is turning out since this is my first cabinet restoration. Considering the veneer damage and all it is looking pretty good. There was definitely a learning curve with the toner. I believe my next one will be better. Here's a couple shots of it when I finished up today. I know it is most likely not even close to the original, but since I couldn't find any good color photos from the era with it new, I just made it look the way I wanted it to look. I did find some darn close grill cloth though. Also, when I apply the decals do I do it on a shiny coat, then spray clear over it? Or do I wet sand, apply the decals, then spray the clear?
