Thread: factory stained finish on vic ash

Hi Ray

Check out the wood finishing shelves of your local hardware shop. Brands to look for include Feast Watson, Cabots.... They should have a sample chart so you can see what colours they have. You can also check out their stains on the web, though matching colours can be a tad more difficult.

You can also have a lot of fun staining timber with UBeaut Water Dyes, or coffee, tea......

Best thing to do, is have fun with a few samples first.

cheers
Wendy

what product[s] would be used to get this type of finish on vic ash

More than likely for a commerical finish, some type of two pack, or pre-catalysed nitrocellulose lacquer, these types of products also often come with a spray stain, normally a spirit stain of sorts similar to wattyl craftsman, but stronger in intensity and often in a wider range of colours.
