Hi All,

While I’m waiting on a part for my 42-327, I started on the cabinet. Lots of scratches and it looked like someone had tried to use black paint to create a faux wood grain to cover scratches. Didn’t look good. So I started sanding and it began to look like beneath was a walnut veneer – but I’m not expert on wood.

Bottom line, I just sanded the whole thing. The black trim I can just use a matte black spray, but I want to refinish the rest so it matches or comes close to original color yet shows the real wood grain. I know to use a sealer first and I want to use Mohawk toner. However, I have no idea what shade or shades to buy. So here’s my question. Does anyone know what colors or shades of Mohawk toner to use to come close to the original brown – yet let the wood grain show?
