The cabinet refinishing.
#5

+1

I dont know why you think I would be the source for answers. I am fairly new to radio restoration and your finishes look better than mine. Icon_evil

I still use rattle cans so there is a lot of elbow grease either way.
What sprayer do you use? I may need to buy one.
My finishes are not as good as I want them to be and I think a sprayer will help me achieve a better outcome and create less work.

For final appearance I think you already have achieved the top rated finishes. If you get that finish without rottenstone then I say you dont need it. If you want to do it like the manufacturers then try it out. may be less buffing afterward.
