1936 Philco 116B Tombstone Radio - Cabinet Questions
#13

One way you can get exactly the depth of darkness that you want is to buy a small can of medium dark solvent based "wiping stain" and tint your spray lacquer with it for doing just the trim. By creating an "almost dark enough" lacquer and applying two or three layers you can get precisely the desired darkness, depth and opaqueness. This also eliminates the need for separate aerosol cans of different tints.

Remember that if your final coats (those being the lacquer) are also tinted, you may want your initial trim colour depth to be sightly light, knowing that the final lacquer coat will darken it slightly.

This is what I use for tint :
