Seeking advice from woodworkers (again) on finish

[BodhiBenz1987]

... so I'm diving back into the wood finishing ordeal for the console of my 300D. As some of you might remember, my last effort came out great, but crazed after 7 months. I used Magnalac, way too thick for its specs, and paid the price. However, I did love the way is flowed out, how easy it was to finesse afterward and the way it looked as a finished product. I have stripped the pieces and am in the process of sanding them. The veneer is holding up well to a second sanding but I'd have to guess this is my last shot with it ... so I want to pick the right finish. I've gotten some advice here before, but I'm still not sure which way to go, and I haven't been able to get much face-to-face advice in stores. I looked into some of the pour-on or brush on marine finishes, but I'm not that comfortable with the pour or brush method, and I also get the feeling the hardened product is not as workable as the lacquer was. I also don't think the boat finishes would necessarily give me the look I want. I did look at an "easy" pour-on finish at Woodcraft and wasn't impressed with the look. I've experimented with off-the-shelf nitrocell lacquers, not pleased. So ... I looked at ML Campbell's line-up again and wondered if anyone had any thoughts on their EuroBild Clear system. It is a two-part Polyurethene that can be sprayed on top of a sealer. The info sheet says it can be built to 12 mils (Magnalac said no more than 3-4) and it doesn't seem to have the reputation that Magnalac has. I had also considered MagnaMax, which is another pre-cat lacquer with a better rep than Magnalac. Thoughts from wood guys here?
This was what my last job looked like in its glory days. I would like it to look exactly like this again ... sans the eventual cracking.
