OK I am a total Noob when it comes to refinishing cabinets, I'll admit it right up front Icon_lol . I need some expert advice. I have a Grunow cabinet. The sides and face have lacquer chipped and scratched off. The top was pretty bad too. I removed the lacquer on the top and found the wood stained and it appears that very little toner was used in the finishing process. What should I do with the finish I'd really hate to remove all the laquer and respray the entire cabinet, and If I do that I will lose the decals on the face, which are not replaceable. Help!! Icon_smile Thanks, Glenn
Happily back in Illinois..not.
