dooge Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 This is on my to-do list too. Id imagine just clean it off with white spirit or similar, should only need a few light coats. Does anyone laquer or just leave them as is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone laquer or just leave them as is? Lightly (& I mean lightly) abrade the surface first, to prep the surface for paint, then solvent wipe until clean, apply a few light coats of satin black and it will come up like new, with the cube pattern showing through the paint, no need for lacquer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
