Mohawk Medium Walnut Tone Finish is not like their other Tone Finish colors - it maintains its transparency to a good degree (that is, unless you apply lots of coats of the stuff). Two or three light coats are usually enough.
I would try to use filler that is as close to the color of the wood as possible in the dents. But first, here's a thought: Try a damp rag and an old iron on those dents. You might be surprised how many you can get to pop back out. It doesn't always work nor does it always work completely, but I once had a 41 or 42-22CL that was badly scratched/gouged on the right side of the radio dial. After I tried the damp rag/iron method, almost all of the gouges disappeared. Of course that was veneer and not solid wood so that may make a difference. Russ (Phlogiston) could better advise you on that than I. Paul Buresh (Paul Philco322) now owns that 42-22CL.
One more thing. Mohawk sells special nozzles that you can adjust for a horizontal or a vertical spray pattern. These make a yuuuge difference in spraying Mohawk toners. It makes the job turn out MUCH better than using the standard conical spray pattern of the nozzles that come with the cans. Since you will be spraying a console, this could make the difference between a good job and a poor job.
