Lookin Good!
Do you have any details on the high gloss coating your guy put on the wood? Is it a epoxy finish, multiple coats of lacquer?
Im just wondering because I made a new center console in my car, and was able to match the stain on the new zebrawood veneer perfectly to the original trim pieces.. I used minwax helmsman (indoor/outdoor) urethane as a " just incase" for uv and severe temp changes inside the car. Just cant get a super gloss out of it. Maybe a marine epoxy will work.?
