Thank you for the comment. I used minwax GelStain ‘Coffee’ color. Super easy and they hold up well. I did this video a few years back and the cabinets still look great.

@@canada3163did you do this and how do you like it now? I’m in your situation last year!
Looks good .. what was the lacquer for? If I want to do this on some beams but want them darker, I take it I would do several coats .. would i apply the lacquer to the last coat? How about cat and dog scratches .. how do you fill them in so the stain don't settle in the cracks making them more pronounced? Thanks for any replies.

The lacquer gives the final coat a satin shine. Not necessary I wouldn’t do multiple coats just a darker gel stain color
Awesome!
Beautiful. I want to update my orange wood trim and doors in my house but kind of scared I will mess them up.

Hi! So there was no dry time before spraying the laquer finish?

No dry time and the time of year was winter so it was still wet stain. They still look great. It’s been 4 years now
I wish you would show more the surface as you work on it.

Hi! Can this work on laminate cabinets? And do I absolutely have to sand them?

Laminate is a type of plastic. I’m not sure you can stain laminate but if you want to try it start with the inside unseen area
Would this work on a shop bought kitchen unit what has sun fade ?

I would think so. Try a small area on the inside of a door or drawer to check
What gel stain, lacquer, and tools are you using

Yes they have a clear coat over the original honey oak stain. Just go right over it with the gel stain
would this work on maple cabinets?
