Refinishing a Radio
#6

Here we go.. before I sprayed, I went over the cabinet with a tack cloth. This will pick up any stray hairs, steel wool pricklies, or dirt... very important step!

   
   

First coat of toner. I sprayed one coat of Universal Walnut covering the entire cabinet. My main concern here is the center panel, bottom edge, and sides. That's what I am coloring now. The entire cabinet was sprayed to ensure uniformity of final color, but I am only worried about that center panel, sides and the bottom edge of lighter colored wood at this point.... The idea is to be smooth and even. When you think you need one more coat, stop. The biggest mistake made by a beginner is too much toner. Remember, toner is only to tint your wood, not protect it. The final clear will protect it....

Now, since we have two colors of wood, we move on the second color... dark walnut...
