I think painting it would be scope creep I'd have to open the wallet up for paint and clears and all that. I'm liking your Minwax idea. I've got the wood stuff off and in my car. Tomorrow on my way to the fire station I can pick up some sandpaper and stain and try to get it stained while on duty tomorrow. I still have a partial can of Minwax Spar Urethane that I used on the bed boards of my 63. Hoping I can keep the cash outlay in check.

Say I start with 80 grit, where should I top out, like 320 or something ? Then stain from there ?
