It won’t need grain filler. Scraping the finish left behind a surface with the grain filled. This is just first color application. I’m going to wool it down with 0000 steel wool and then hit it with a waterborne lacquer I use with a water soluble red mahogany dye mixed in. If that gives me what I want with color and tone, then I’ll spray on 2-3 coats of clear. I’ll probably put the decals on before the clear coats. You ask 100 woodworkers how to put color and finish on you’ll get 100 different protocols! One question Bob, what level of gloss did these TVs have coming out of the factory? I can’t imagine a high gloss finish but what’s left of the finishes on most of the wood cabinet TVs I’ve gotten look pretty glossy!
