I have to be patient a little while longer but ... could be one like that in my future 
I'm pretty sure it was John Hall, possibly on a thread over on the RIC site, who said they actually add a bit of color to the new UV cured finish to make it look a bit more like the old aged CV. Not as dark and golden, but not as light as a new CV.dpowell wrote:I heard something about the new UV finishes giving the MGs a yellow cast...

We're doing UV filler and sealer coats which makes the finish more durable and smoother, but doesn't change the color. UV clear coats won't happen until next month.
But trust me- ambered Maple looked absolutely terrible.
Oops, my mistake. It was Ben who mentioned that the new UV materials tend to yellow the finish a bit. And no, he didn't say anything about adding color to it, just my over 50 memory inventing stuff again...johnhall wrote:Given that we haven't yet deployed the UV finish, I have no idea what you guys are talking about.dpowell wrote:Makes you wonder why Amber Mapleglo never worked...cjj wrote: I'm pretty sure it was John Hall, possibly on a thread over on the RIC site, who said they actually add a bit of color to the new UV cured finish to make it look a bit more like the old aged CV.
