wvu80 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 "9. For "Black Lacquer" finishes, the factory used a #40 sheen lacquer primer, then #40 sheen black lacquer, with a clear #40 sheen to protect the black finish.

jason str Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Paint is never going to match exactly, even different batches of the same color can be off. I have experimented mixing small quantities of flat and semi gloss black and get close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sanded down my CF-4's (deep gouges) and used a Med Oak stain followed by Satin polyurethane. The Satin looks very close to OEM IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I think the black paint was a Valspar product. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madman1 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I’ve used Old Masters Spanish oak wiping stain with great success on oak klf/kg etc. I think the match is so good you could get away with only doing the top or problem area. I plan to use the same on my old rough chorus ii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
