As a Christmas gift my good ol Mom is going to strip and refinish this and my chairside zenith. I just talked with her on the phone and she said it looks like it was originally painted brown. And the grain is not all that attractive. So it looks like I am going to paint it black. Any thoughts on what I should go with? I could use Imron. It's tough. Something more original would be lacquer. But try to get nitrocellulose like they had back then. It's expensive and allegedly bad for us
