Thanks Adam,

Do you think something like this would be suitable?

It's only a matt finish, but my thinking is I can rub it down and lacquer the whole set at once (is the lacquer likely to react once it's set?). I guess I could alternatively try and find a gloss finish and mask it off/paint it after lacquering the rest. The colour looks pretty good (or as good as I'll probably get).

Thanks,
Mark.
