Does anyone know of companies or persons in Canada that do high-grade finishes?
I have a set of classic speaker cabinets in figured birch veneer which I would like to see refinished. The goal is a piano/guitar grade semi-transparent black polyester finish on the visible surfaces, but if solid black is the only option then so be it. I understand the cleanliness, timing between coats and the humidity are quite important during application and curing.
Thanks for looking and any help!

I know a Guy in the GTA that is qualified.. His company during the 1980's applied finishes for several Canadian Brands. He had the contract for the piano black Energy speakers.. PM if interested..
A decent paint finish is possible by hobbyists. Multiple coats of Zinsser Bin sprayed outdoors, sanding between coats. Apply enough coats until the primer is ultra smooth.. Apply General finishes enduro black poly or tinted Sherwin Williams pro classic.. Oh, tint the Zinsser bin with transtint dye to be close to the finish colour.. Practice the entire regime a small project.

Can usually purchase clear laquer in spray cans at hardware stores. I found black years ago when I did that on some large speakers.
Is pretty easy to work with, amounts to light sanding between coats, then some polishing.
Typical car paints are urethane nowadays and won’t look like any piano unless carefully finished afterwards.
