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.
Funny you should mention that, I've just used a load of this exact product (same shade) on the wood in my bedroom, among other things!

I also used it on a box for an AM pantry transmitter I built. I lightly sanded it and sprayed car lacquer over it (AutoTek), no issues, worked well.

Its just standard acrylic varnish, which should be fine for modern acrylic lacquers, but probably wouldnt go well with oil based products.

Best Wishes
Adam
