That faceplate came out great! What grade of sandpaper did you use? Did you buff it by hand?

I'm a little confused by the Mohawk colors. I used Classic Brown Mahogany and it came out much like your dark red. When I look at the color chart it appears that the brown was intended to be applied much lighter than I did and on a test piece a light coating does appear to be brown.

The deep red on the color chart looks more like the brown I was looking for and is about the same shade.

I also made mine too dark but I lightened it up with 600 grit sandpaper before the final clear coat.

Your cabinet came out great! It takes a real perfectionist to strip a cabinet they just finished and start over.
