Hi al.
I have a solid pine display cabinet that I bought from argos a few years
ago.
It has what they call an antique pine lacquer finish and plain wooden knobs.
I want to give it a make over before selling it.
I can pick up some knobs on ebay but I want to give it a darker finish.
Do I have to remove the old lacquer before applying a darker colour?

Thnaks.

I had some pine end-tables and sanded the whole lot down before
staining with some darker stain and re-lacquering. The sanding and
staining is easy, but the lacquer stage is a pain in the backside :-( End
result looks really nice, though...
