OK guys, my Parker project is slowly progressing. Maybe I should have titled these threads "Parker refinish" because I'm now thinking "restoration' sounds a little ambitious. At any rate I'm making some progress.
I've gone through the stripping, sanding, wet sanding, and staining processes. I'm now down to my real achilles heal, the final finish. I'm reasonably happy with how things look now so my ultimate question is: how many coats of finish do I need on top of what I have now? If I add a couple of coats of finish for protection, what is the best way to knock the shine down a notch or two if I think it gets too shiney?
FYI: I filled the grain with Permalyn filler. I also have the Permlyn finish. After working with the filler, I've considered using it as the final coat.
Thanks so much for the input. Maybe I will post pictures when this is complete because I am positive that everyone on this site is dying to see another old, rehabbed Trojan.
Thanks again - Kyle
